The Next Step in DNA Synthesis
Abstract
- In today's world we use organic solvents and reactive amidites to synthesize all custom DNA.
- These methods are in need of improvement. The efficiencies are too low for many of today's applications.
- It may be prudent to begin investigating more natural, aqueous environments that are chemically less harmful to the DNA during synthesis.
- An aqueous synthesis environment would allow us to use the enzymes that have evolved alongside nucleic acids for billions of years.
