The Synthetic DNA Accelerator Lab (SynDNA Lab) is committed to supporting other research groups with the long and complex DNA constructs they need for their Synthetic Genomics efforts. To this end, we are centralizing and developing infrastructure, workflows, methodologies, and know-how for synthetic DNA sequence assembly and diversification.
In addition, the lab will foster community building and public outreach to further accelerate the adoption of Synthetic Genomics ideas.
