Synthetic technologies allow scientists to venture into uncharted waters, asking unique research questions and finding previously unattainable solutions to some of life’s biggest mysteries. From gene editing to protein engineering, synthesized DNA libraries enable researchers to grasp once unreachable high-throughput screening applications and dismantle barriers between experimental ideation and execution.
In this podcast series, The Scientist’s Creative Services Team talks to experts about their experiences implementing Twist Bioscience’s synthesized long double-stranded gene pools, Multiplexed Gene Fragments, for high-throughput screening.
