Construction Technology

Conclusion: It is possible to construct any piece of DNA.

Characteristics as of 1 February 2006:

  • Cost. ~$1 per bp
  • Length. ~100 bp direct chemical synthesis, ~15,000 bp PCR assembly, ~3,500,000 bp inchworm elongation
  • Error Rate. From 1:10 to effectively zero
  • Time. 6 hours for 100 bp, 2-6 weeks for 15,000 bp, ~2 months for 50,000 bp, ~7 years for 3,500,000 bp
  • Diversity. From one molecule to millions of molecules (heavily dependent on method)
  • Terms of Sale. Varied (from no-strings-attached to full-rights-reserved).
