Gene Synthesis
Gene Synthesis: sometimes known as DNA printing[1] is a method in synthetic biology that is used to create artificial genes in the laboratory. Currently based on solid-phase DNA synthesis, it differs from molecular cloning and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in that the user does not have to begin with preexisting DNA sequences. The method has been used to generate functional bacterial or yeast chromosomes containing approximately one million base pairs.
