Problems solved by technology

The assembly of polynucleotides from oligonucleotides is an error-prone process.
Errors arise from the chemical synthesis of oligonucleotides, and the enzymatic processes used to assemble these oligonucleotides into longer polynucleotides.
These errors increase the cost and time taken to synthesize polynucleotides.

Embodiment Construction

[0083]Before the present invention is described in detail, it is to be understood that this invention is not limited to the particular methodology, devices, solutions or apparatuses described, as such methods, devices, solutions or apparatuses can, of course, vary. It is also to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

5.1 Definitions

[0084]Use of the singular forms “a,”“an,” and “the” include plural references unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. Thus, for example, reference to “a polynucleotide” includes a plurality of polynucleotides, reference to “a substrate” includes a plurality of such substrates, reference to “a variant” includes a plurality of variants, and the like.

[0085]Terms such as “connected,”“attached,”“linked,” and “conjugated” are used interchangeably herein and encompass direct as well as indirect connection, attachment, linka...

Abstract

Methods of synthesizing oligonucleotides with high coupling efficiency (>99.5%) are provided. Methods for purification of synthetic oligonucleotides are also provided. Instrumentation configurations for oligonucleotide synthesis are also provided. Methods of designing and synthesizing polynucleotides are also provided. Polynucleotide design is optimized for subsequent assembly from shorter oligonucleotides. Modifications of phosphoramidite chemistry to improve the subsequent assembly of polynucleotides are provided. The design process also incorporates codon biases into polynucleotides that favor expression in defined hosts. Design and assembly methods are also provided for the efficient synthesis of sets of polynucleotide variants. Software to automate the design and assembly process is also provided.
