Writing DNA - Emily Leproust, CEO of Twist Bioscience

Twist Bioscience synthesizes genes from scratch on silicon, known as “writing” DNA. Just as children learn to both read and write, the next phase of development for the genomics revolution is the ability to write DNA to advance discovery and development across multiple industries. Building on the next generation sequencing explosion dominated by Illumina, customers now find themselves faced with new bottlenecks: scalability and fidelity of synthetic genes. Twist addresses both through its engineering-based silicon solution that delivers high-quality synthetic DNA faster, cheaper and seamlessly.
