Traditional Cloning versus Gene Synthesis

It’s never been easier to make DNA!  Generating an expression construct is typically the first step in your protein expression workflow. Obviously there are many ways to get the desired expression plasmid. One of them is synthetic gene synthesis, which is becoming more popular in today’s research labs. There are several good reasons to synthetically make your custom DNA:

•         Freedom of design (e.g. add/remove restriction sites to your sequence)
•         No physical template required
•         Ability to optimize your sequence for improved protein expression
•         Fast access to your DNA (production times starting from 5 business days)
•         Utilizing freed up time for other research
•         Economical with respect to money and time
