What is Genome Size and Long DNA Constructs?


For researchers who need long custom DNA constructs for pharmaceutical development (e.g. viral genomes) or for metabolic engineering, pathway engineering, or synthetic biology, Life Technologies offers a fast, reliable, and economic solution—our proprietary and completely in-house GeneArt® DNA synthesis and assembly services.

 Solutions from gene fragments to genomes











  • High-throughput  gene synthesis with a capacity of >8.5 Mbp per month (fast and reliable production of DNA pieces for assembly)
  • Expert design and assembly technologies and process expertise for the assembly of constructs from 10 kb to several hundred kilobases, with timelines starting from 25 business days
  • Robust technologies to build DNA constructs with highest complexity
  • Sanger sequencing and next-generation sequencing offer flexible solutions for sequence verification and final QC
  • Proven track record of reliable and timely production for long and complex constructs, with dozens of constructs built each year
  • Proprietary technologies to build high-quality gene fragments up to 3 kb, and assembly kits that enable do-it-yourself construction and assembly
