Tools for Optimizing Expression

Nearly all molecular biology experiments start with cloned DNA. The gene can be a starting point for protein expression, structural analysis or a functional experiment.

Researchers may derive their DNA from PCR done on a natural source or purchase it from a premade clone collection. Buying the gene from an ORF collection is the fastest way if the gene of interest is available. However, you have to rely on preexisting material. Modifying these constructs is time consuming and costly. Gene synthesis offers the opportunity to design every construct from scratch-tailored for the respective experiment. Starting point is any sequence information. This offers maximum flexibility to get the gene of choice within 8–10 business days, 100% sequence verified, cloned into a vector of choice.

Synthesis of an optimized gene further enhances protein expression levels. In addition, optimized genes are resistant to RNA knock down.
