Abstract

De novo synthesized large libraries of nucleic acids are provided herein with low error rates. Further, devices for the manufacturing of high-quality building blocks, such as oligonucleotides, are described herein. Longer nucleic acids can be synthesized in parallel using microfluidic assemblies. Further, methods herein allow for the fast construction of large libraries of long, high-quality genes. Devices for the manufacturing of large libraries of long and high-quality nucleic acids are further described herein.

Claims (17)

1. A polynucleotide cDNA library, comprising at least 30,000 non-identical polynucleotides that collectively encode cDNA sequences corresponding to at least 750 genes or gene fragments, wherein each of the at least 750 genes or gene fragments comprises an intron, wherein the at least 30,000 non-identical polynucleotides comprise a plurality of subsets of non-identical polynucleotides, wherein each of the subsets of non-identical polynucleotides collectively encodes for one of the cDNA sequences and comprises polynucleotides varying within a range of lengths, and wherein each of the at least 30,000 non-identical polynucleotides comprises a first overlap region which is complementary to a second overlap region of another non-identical polynucleotide of the at least 30,000 non-identical polynucleotides.

2. The polynucleotide cDNA library of claim 1 , wherein each non-identical polynucleotide is at least 50 bases in length.

3. The polynucleotide cDNA library of claim 1 , wherein each non-identical polynucleotide is at least 100 bases in length.
