Enabling biology at an unprecedented scale
From pharmaceuticals to agriculture, synthetic biology is leading an industrial revolution that will reshape the world.
As with previous industrial revolutions, new technologies are what drives the generation of new products through the ever-accelerating flywheel of a “learn / design / build / test” cycle. In biology, this flywheel is severely underpowered, in part due to the lack of gene synthesis technologies that can simultaneously achieve multi-kilobases lengths, near-zero error rate, and negligible cost. RootPath’s core technologies can solve this ‘impossible trinity’ of synthetic biology and bring unprecedented power to this flywheel.
Achieving limitless gene synthesis through Molecular Programming
Up until now, no existing technology could address all three corners of the impossible trinity. Our breakthrough technologies to solve this problem are built upon our quantitative understanding of the physicochemical properties of nucleic acid-based reactions as well as the industrialization of Molecular Programming. This allows us to explore avenues of biology that have previously been unavailable.
