Why is gene synthesis more expensive than oligosynthesis?
Inputting the effort, energy, and expertises, it is reasonable for the price of gene synthesis to be much higher than that of oligo synthesis. It is the same analogy that a painting by a famous artist is more expensive than the paint itself. During gene synthesis, the oligos have to be assembled together in the correct order, which takes time and expertise. • Can you use gene synthesis to finish my partial clone? A: Yes. Provided that you have the sequence, GenScript can synthesize the 5′-end or 3′-end of the gene and anneal it to your partial clone to obtain the full-length gene. • If I do not have the sequence, can you synthesize the gene for me? A: No. We need the sequence to synthesize a gene. • What are the steps in the process of gene synthesis? A: The steps in gene synthesis including the following: synthesizing oligos, obtaining full-length genes, correcting mutations, and confirming the sequence. • Do you provide protein expression services for codon-optimized genes? A: GenScr
