MASSIVELY PARALLEL ENZYMATIC SYNTHESIS OF NUCLEIC ACID STRANDS

Abstract

The invention is directed to methods for massively parallel template-free enzymatic synthesis of a plurality of different polynucleotides of predetermined sequences. In one aspect, methods of the invention employ large scale arrays of reaction sites each associated with at least one working electrode for controlling deprotection and deblocking steps at predetermined user selected sites. In another aspect, the invention provides template-free enzymatic synthesis with proofreading, wherein completed polynucleotides at predetermined reaction sites are sequenced using a sequencing by synthesis technique, particularly employing electrochemically labile blocking groups.
