| How do we evaluate the different approaches to automated construction?
| |
|
| |
|
| #Decentralized approach
| |
| #*We make cloning easier by using some automation combined with "normal" individual cloning approaches. For example, each lab buys a Qiacube to partially automate minipreps and restriction digests. Then ligations and transformations are done by hand at the bench.
| |
| #Centralized academic facility
| |
| #*We find the resources to start an assembly facility similar to how sequencing facilities are set up on campus
| |
| #Partnership with DNA synthesis company
| |
| #*We work with a DNA synthesis company so that they can offer commercial automated cloning services. How do we ensure that such a partnership wouldn't fall apart as soon as a big synthesis order comes along? Automated cloning may be too small a market and/or too large a problem for DNA synthesis companies to tackle right now?
