Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT), the world leader in oligonucleotide synthesis, will be speaking at the synthetic biology conference, SynBioBeta, on November 15 in San Francisco, CA.

The talk, entitled ‘gBlocks™ Gene Fragments for gene construction and more!’ will be given by Adam Clore PhD, Manager of the Synthetic Biology Design and Support group at IDT. As part of this presentation, Dr. Clore will provide precious insights and recommendations regarding the assembly of gene fragments using the Gibson Assembly Method.

Providing a novel, rapid and reliable alternative to a full gene synthesis service, gBlocks Gene Fragments are ideal for a large range of synthetic biology applications. As double-stranded, sequence verified DNA blocks of up to 750 base pairs, their high sequence fidelity in combination with rapid delivery times provide users with affordable and easy gene construction or modification.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.OligonucleotidesOligonucleotides are small nucleic acid polymers, usually less than 20 bases in length. Oligonucleotides can be made via enzymatic cleavage or more commonly by chemical synthesis with polymerases. Their use includes FISH, southern blots, microarrays and as primers in PCR. High fidelity synthesis kits and detection systems are available for easy production and detection, respectively.DNADeoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) is the main component of chromosomes and the carrier of genetic information of living organisms.
