Gene Synthesis: A Brief Overview
Artificial gene synthesis comprises a group of methods that are used in the field of molecular biology to construct and assemble genes. The process involves a chemical synthesis of a strand of DNA base-by-base. Gene synthesis process nucleotides are step-by-step to a single-stranded molecule. In recent years, gene synthesis and gene assembly technology have developed rapidly and have been used in a wide range of applications such as metabolic engineering, genetic engineering design, and vaccine development. There are different types of gene synthesis methods that are widely used to construct and assemble genes. Common gene synthesis methods include solid-phase synthesis, chip-based DNA synthesis, and PCR-based gene synthesis. The process has wide implications in a variety of fields including the creation of genetic circuits and research work to improve metabolic functions. With the rapid technological advancements, the research work on genetics continues to evolve and enhance. No...
