Description
Andrew Mishin, Tobin Groth, Richard Green, and Christopher Troll published this study in 2024. It introduces a simpler way to assemble genes from short DNA pieces in the lab. Older methods demand highly purified pieces and enzymes that copy or glue DNA step by step.
Their method, named Splynthesis, works in one tube. Longer standard pieces, about 150 letters each, are lined up by shorter guide pieces called splints. The splints carry chemical blocks that stop wrong joins and stray copying. The team built a gene fragment of 741 letters and checked it with several standard tests, including long-read sequencing. The finished piece could be cloned like any lab-made gene. The authors say the approach suits synthetic biology and protein studies that need custom DNA fast.
