Research abstract
Gen9 is developing a DNA synthesis platform that aims to produce synthetic DNA products at an industry leading length, price point and turnaround time. In this proposal we outline our plans to meet the requirements of the solicitation: $0.05per base pair, 7 day order turnaround time and perfect sequences up to 20 kbp. Currently our technology allows our product to approach those requirements. Further development, supported by this program will allow Gen9 to meet and even exceed these product specifications. Gen9's platform combines low cost DNA synthesis and error correction, with next generation methods of identifying assembled products with perfect sequence fidelity. Perfect constructs can be sold as is, or used to produce longer length constructs. We also outline experimental and development effort to synthesize DNA at prices much cheaper and at lengths much longer than asked for in this solicitation.
