High-fidelity de novo synthesis of pathways using microchip-synthesized oligonucleotides and general molecular biology equipment

Abstract Engineering and evaluation of synthetic routes for generating valuable compounds require accurate and cost-effective de novo synthesis of genetic pathways. Here, we present an economical and streamlined de novo DNA synthesis approach for engineering a synthetic pathway with microchip-synthe...
