Abstract

The development of a new class of nucleoside phosphites is described. These compounds are stable to normal laboratory conditions, are activated by mild acid treatment, and are observed to react essentially quantitatively with protected nucleosides.

Gel-based electrochemical DNA synthesis for quasi-solid-state data storage
2024, Chemical Engineering Journal
Chemically synthesized DNA has been considered a promising medium for data storage. Among various methods, electrochemical synthesis is simple and easy to miniaturize, attracting much attention. However, conventional DNA synthesis uses phosphoramidite chemistry involving multi-step liquid-phase reactions and complicated liquid manipulation, restricting scalability and practical application. Here, we report the quasi-solid-state electrochemical DNA synthesis based on gels. All reagents required for different synthesis steps are contained in separate gels without mixing or dilution. Instead of complicated liquid manipulation, DNA synthesis on the electrode requires only relative motion between the electrode and gels. Similarly, blank gels with only acetonitrile are reused to clean the electrode surface without washing with plenty of liquid. We demonstrate our method is scalable using an electrode array for parallel DNA synthesis.
Automated high-throughput DNA synthesis and assembly
2024, Heliyon
DNA synthesis and assembly primarily revolve around the innovation and refinement of tools that facilitate the creation of specific genes and the manipulation of entire genomes. This multifaceted process encompasses two fundamental steps: the synthesis of lengthy oligonucleotides and the seamless assembly of numerous DNA fragments. With the advent of automated pipetting workstations and integrated experimental equipment, a substantial portion of repetitive tasks in the field of synthetic biology can now be efficiently accomplished through integrated liquid handling workstations. This not only reduces the need for manual labor but also enhances overall efficiency. This review explores the ongoing advancements in the oligonucleotide synthesis platform, automated DNA assembly techniques, and biofoundries. The development of accurate and high-throughput DNA synthesis and assembly technologies presents both challenges and opportunities.
Inkjet printing-based high-throughput DNA synthesis
2024, Giant
High-throughput DNA de novo synthesis has drawn extensive attention from academia and bioindustry due to its fundamental importance in applications such as gene synthesis, drug discovery, disease diagnosis, and digital data storage. After developing for more than two decades, microchip-based DNA synthesis by inkjet printing has become one of the mainstream high-throughput DNA synthesis technologies. This technology formulates different phosphoramidite monomers into ink, then uses a multi-nozzle printing system to distribute the ink drops onto preset reactive microsites with a specific order. Therefore, the nucleotide synthetic reactions can be restricted to independent microsites with the throughput as high as several millions. Benefiting from the advantages of inkjet printing in high precision, high efficiency, and customization, this DNA technology demonstrates an appealing prospect in high-throughput and low-cost DNA synthesis. In this review, we comprehensively introduce the fundamental concepts and procedures of the inkjet printing-based DNA synthesis technology, and then summarize its essential components including the inkjet printer, the ink reagent, and the high-throughput microchip. Finally, the potential opportunities and challenges of DNA synthesis through inkjet printing are prospected. This review aims to draw more consideration to and involvement in developing high-throughput, low-cost, high-fidelity, long-strand, and efficient DNA synthesis technology.
Recent development on DNA & genome synthesis
2024, Current Opinion in Systems Biology
After decades of development, DNA synthesis, assembly, and sequencing technologies have reached a high level, allowing faster and cheaper acquirements of synthetic genes or even de novo synthesis of an entire genome. Meanwhile, the value of synthetic genomes keeps increasing, and the target organisms have covered viruses, bacteria, and yeast and moved toward higher eukaryotes. However, as the length of genomes moves from kilobase to gigabase, the cost of synthetic genome projects increases sharply and requires years of effort to complete. Therefore, new DNA synthesis technology and a next-generation DNA synthesizer are urgently needed. In this review, we focus mainly on the advances in DNA and genome synthesis and discuss difficulties that need to be addressed in both areas.
Expanding the architectural horizon of nucleic-acid-polymer biohybrids by site-controlled incorporation of ATRP initiators in DNA and RNA
2023, Chem
Modifying biomacromolecules with synthetic polymers has been a powerful approach to developing multifunctional hybrid biomaterials for nanoscience and biomedical applications. With oligonucleotides, limited coupling and conjugation strategies were replaced with approaches allowing for the initiation of polymer chains directly from a terminus of synthetic DNA sequences. Although these strategies have provided access to diblock (DNA-polymer) bioconjugates, oligonucleotide biohybrids with more complex architectures have remained challenging. In this work, we vastly expand the possibility of creating diverse oligonucleotide-polymer biohybrids by developing serinol-based α-bromoisobutyryl (SBiB) phosphoramidite. This universal reagent allows for multiple site-specific incorporations of an atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiator within a synthetic DNA or RNA sequence. Combining this methodology with the recently developed green-light-induced ATRP with dual catalysis has enabled the precise fabrication of well-defined, complex hybrid nucleic acid polymers.
