  • Publication number: 20210395724
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus of some aspects of the invention relate to the synthesis of high fidelity polynucleotides. In particular, aspects of the invention relate to concurrent enzymatic removal of amplification sequences and ligation of processed oligonucleotides into nucleic acid assemblies. According to some embodiments, the invention provides a method for producing a target nucleic acid having a predefined sequence. In some embodiments, the method comprises the step of providing a plurality of oligonucleotides, wherein each oligonucleotides comprises (i) an internal sequence identical to a different portion of a sequence of a target nucleic acid, (ii) a 5? sequence flanking the 5? end of the internal sequence and a 3? flanking sequence flanking the 3? end of the internal sequence, each of the flanking sequence comprising a primer recognition site for a primer pair and a restriction enzyme recognition site.

  • Publication number: 20200095705
    Abstract: Devices and methods are provided for selectively expelling and/or transferring nucleic acids. In one aspect, the device includes a component (e.g., a piezoelectric or an acoustic component) configured to align with one or more features on a solid support, such that when in use, the component (e.g., the piezoelectric or acoustic component) generates a mechanical force to selectively expel and/or transfer one or more volumes of nucleic acid from the solid support. The solid support can include a plurality of discrete features, each feature having a volume (e.g., droplet) of nucleic acid thereon. A power source can be included to provide an electric current to the component (e.g., the piezoelectric or acoustic component, if present) to generate mechanical force. The device can be used for nucleic acid singulation during and/or after assembly.
