Make DNA like software.

Making DNA synthesis cheaper, faster, and more accessible.

Mission

I want a world where anyone can design, create, and share protein machines. My goal is to pair enzymatic DNA synthesis with inkjet printing, producing thousands of sequences in parallel in a machine anyone could own.

Cutting out blocking chemistry

I'm using a new method which avoids blocking chemistry, doing DNA addition with commercial TdT enzyme and unmodified dNTPs, the same commodity reagents used in PCR.

Conventional phosphoramidite synthesis relies on moisture-sensitive reagents, extra protection and deprotection steps, and waste which requires special disposal. My approach avoids all this.

Biological engineering should not be constrained by how slowly and expensively we can turn sequence into matter.
