Dr. Mulligan's presentation will focus on Blue Heron Bio's solid-phase gene synthesis technology and the use of synthetic genes or even genomes in Synthetic Biology. Efficient, economical, and reliable gene synthesis is an enabling technology for the field. Blue Heron Bio's proprietary GeneMaker(R) gene synthesis platform chemically synthesizes any DNA sequence DNA sequence Genetics The precise order of bases–A,T,G,C–in a segment of DNA, gene, chromosome, or an entire genome. See Base pair, Base sequence analysis, Chromosome, Gene, Genome. of any size (40 kb or longer) with perfect accuracy. GeneMaker incorporates several proprietary technologies including error correction methods and a gene assembly instrument. Because GeneMaker is fully automated, it can synthesize hundreds of genes simultaneously. By participating in the Oklahoma Synthetic Biology Symposium as a keynote speaker, Blue Heron Bio continues to support this growing field of research. About Blue Heron Biotechnology Blue Heron Biotechnology, Inc., the leading provider of gene synthesis services, was founded in 1999 to accelerate discovery research by industrializing the manufacture of custom reagents. Blue Heron Bio's proprietary GeneMaker(R) synthesizes any gene, regardless of sequence or size with 100% accuracy guaranteed. Today, hundreds of researchers from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies as well as academic and government laboratories buy thousands of synthetic genes from Blue Heron Bio. |
