Synthetic biology tools advancing and accelerating drug discovery efforts

Drug Discovery World

If you want to order gene-length sequences, rather than short oligos for PCR, the waiting times are around two or three weeks at least. Anita Ramanathan outlines four synthetic biology approaches that are improving and accelerating drug discovery. . This way, we can separate erroneous sequences from accurate ones.
