Genome engineering

Engineer large, complex, fully-synthetic genomes

Genome Engineering or Editing: It’s no longer how, but what, to build

The process of changing an organism’s original molecular code is called genome engineering or genome editing. The term editing has gained more popularity over the last few years with the discovery of CRISPR molecules that power genome engineering processes with more precision.

DNA synthesis is a fundamental tool in genome engineering, whether you are engineering an existing genome or building one from scratch. Traditional molecular cloning and gene editing steps are tedious, manual in nature and require cellular transformation, which can take three to four weeks. In addition to being time-consuming, classic genome engineering and DNA assembly techniques are limited in the size and complexity of constructs that can be engineered.

Scientists are no longer willing to wait weeks or sometimes months for sequence builds. The ability to quickly make large and complex error-free DNA molecules comprising entire gene sequences is what separates Codex DNA from the rest.

Removing limitations with hands-free overnight synthesis

The BioXp™ system enables rapid synthesis within days to weeks, as well as the ability to modify large constructs and full-length genomes.

The BioXp™ system provides an automated workflow solution enabling users to:

Engineer genomes and vaccine scaffolds that were previously inaccessible due to size, complexity, and resource limitations
Engineer fully synthetic genomes lacking pathogenicity through rational redesign
Rapidly pursue research and development of emerging strains or modify existing genomic constructs based on experimental results
