Automated DNA assembly validation

Biofoundry-scale assembly of large constructs paired with long-read sequencing workflows that verify the assembly matches its design, catching errors from input DNA, the assembly reaction and handling.

Where it's used

iGEM infrastructure, BioBricks and standard genetic parts
The shared substrate synthetic biology runs on — a registry of standard parts and the student competition that populates it, nonprofit plasmid repositories, commercial gene synthesis reaching 7,000 base pairs on complex sequences, and automated biofoundries whose assemblies are now validated by long-read sequencing.
