Oligo Pools: Design. Build. Test.
25 Jun 2019Twist Oligo Pools are highly diverse collections of single-stranded oligo-nucleotides synthesized using our silicon-based DNA writing technology. Our synthesis platform enables massively parallel production of hundreds of thousands of high-quality, accurate oligos per run. Oligo pools are utilized in many applications including generation of CRISPR guide RNA (sgRNA) libraries, peptide and protein screens, and high-throughput reporter assays.

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.Compound LibrariesCompound libraries, or chemical libraries, are used in drug discovery for the identification of potential therapeutics compounds. Used in conjunction with high-throughput screening, the libraries of stored compounds are often generated for specific purposes as a drug target or disease model. Cheminformatics are commonly used when designing a compound library and software can be used to analyze the screening process. Library GenerationLibrary generation refers to the construction of NGS libraries from RNA and DNA sources.CRISPRCRISPR technology enables precise editing of genes, allowing scientists to modify DNA at specific locations. This revolutionary tool is used in genetic research, drug development, and gene therapy. CRISPR has applications in agriculture, disease treatment, and creating genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
