Summary
We aim at establishing new nucleic acid synthesis infrastructure that will allow us to produce a large number of synthetic nucleic acid molecules in a short time, in great yields and at much lower cost than with current equipment. Having this infrastructure will allow us to explore new chemical analogues of human nucleic acids as gene editing tools, of high importance to modern science and technology.
