The invention provides a method of synthesizing complex mixtures of long polynucleotides by separately synthesizing and assembling shorter component oligonucleotides. In one aspect, pairs of oligonucleotides that form components of such polynucleotides are synthesized on one or more microarrays, or other large-scale parallel solid phase synthesis platforms, after which they are released. Members of each pair contain unique complementary barcode sequences that are used match-up pairs in a hybridization reaction to form duplexes. Such duplexes are then extended with a DNA polymerase and the resulting extension product is amplified to form an amplicon. The amplicon may be either used directly as the desired polynucleotide, or it may undergo further processing, such as capture on solid phase supports and/or additional enzymatic or chemical processing, to produce a desired polynucleotide product, such as a circularizing probe for multiplex analysis of genomic DNA, or the like.

Methods and systems for automated polynucleotide synthesis design are provided. Example embodiments provide an Automated Polynucleotide Synthesis Design System (“APSDS”), which automatically generates a synthesis design for a designated target sequence specification. In one embodiment, the APSDS comprises a synthesis design engine, user interface support, a synthesis rules data repository, and a synthesis data repository. The APSDS automatically generates a synthesis design by receiving a target sequence(s) specification, generating a potential synthesis design, evaluating the potential design against synthesis rules, and when the evaluation indicates that the potential design is not successful according to the synthesis rules, adjusting the design to generate a new potential synthesis design and repeating the process of evaluating and adjusting until a potential synthesis design is found that satisfies the synthesis rules or until no solution is found.

Devices and methods integrate nanopore and microfluidic technologies for recording molecular characteristics of individual molecules such as, for example, biomolecules. Devices comprise a first substrate comprising a microchannel, a second substrate comprising a microchannel, the second substrate positioned below the first substrate, and a membrane having a thickness of about 0.3 nm to about 1 nm and comprising at least one nanopore, the membrane positioned between the first substrate and the second substrate, wherein a single nanopore of the membrane is constructed and arranged for electrical and fluid communication between the microchannel of the first substrate and the microchannel of the second substrate. To mitigate the effect of errors that occur during de novo DNA synthesis, longer DNA molecules are typically synthesized from shorter oligonucleotides by polymerase construction and amplification (PCA), or by other methods.

The invention relates to compositions, methods, and kits for hot start polynucleotide synthesis, including extension of primed polynucleotide templates and polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Hot start is provided by a thermally inactivated blocking polymerase protein that binds primed polynucleotide templates and prevents their access to a thermostable nucleic acid polymerase. High temperatures employed in the synthesis reaction cause the blocking polymerase to denature, thereby permitting the action of a thermostable processive polymerase. Compositions of the invention include a specific blocking polymerase protein which is a mutant of the Klenow fragment of E. coli DNA polymerase. The mutant is essentially devoid of polymerase activity, processivity, and 3′ to 5′ exonuclease activity. Use of the thermally inactivated blocking polymerase together with a thermostable polymerase reduces non-specific priming and accumulation of unwanted amplification products, increasing the specificity and sensitivity of the synthesis reaction.

The present invention discloses a kind of nucleoside phosphoramidite for synthesizing RNA oligonucleotide and its synthesis. The present invention adopts [2, 2-dimethyl-2-(o-nitrophenyl) acetylmethoxy] ether (DNPA) as the 2'-hydroxy protecting radical.

The present invention provides one new path for synthesizing RNA oligonucleotide and may be used for the RNA molecule synthesis of various kinds of natural nucleoside, non-natural nucleoside, labeling nucleoside or their derivatives.

The invention discloses a two-nucleotide synthetic sequencing analysis method for a multi-template PCR product. The method comprises the steps of uniformly dividing the same PCR product into at least two parts, and carrying out two-nucleotide synthetic sequencing, wherein each sequencing reaction obtains sequencing encoding information containing two nucleotide kinds and nucleotide synthetic amount; selecting at least two groups of encoding information respectively obtained by at least two groups of different two-nucleotide synthetic circular sequencing in three groups to decode; and finally, determining the contents of different DNA templates of the PCR product through association analysis. The two-nucleotide synthetic sequencing analysis method can be used for widening the single-nucleotide synthetic sequencing analysis range, directly measuring the proportions of all the DNA templates in a sample and finding and screening nucleotide markers from large-scale samples, and is suitable for sequencing analysis of the multi-template PCR product and a mixed sample PCR product.

Methods for encoding data in synthetic DNA include, for an input data sequence, constructing a codebook of a number of unique codewords, of a nucleotide length, which are constructed such that, for each codeword, the codeword is formed from a selection of nucleotide pairs from a first predefined dictionary of nucleotide pairs, and, if the nucleotide length of the codeword is odd, an additional selection of a nucleotide from a second predefined dictionary of individual nucleotides. For each symbol from the input data sequence, at least one codeword is designated as associable therewith, and each symbol is coded as one codeword selected from the designated at least one codeword associable with that symbol. A code is formed from the codewords, arranged in corresponding order to that of their respective symbols in the input data sequence. A DNA sequence is synthetized with nucleotides ordered to match the code.

The invention provides a method of convergently synthesizing mixtures of either single stranded or double stranded polynucleotides. In one aspect, oligonucleotides that form components of such polynucleotides are synthesized on one or more microarrays, or other large-scale parallel solid phase synthesis platforms, after which they are amplified directly, or are released into solution and then amplified.
