Amyris and Genome Compiler enter deal to allow users to design and order DNA

In California, Amyris and Genome Compiler Corp., a synthetic biology platform company, have entered into a collaboration agreement to integrate Amyris’s automated lab services with Genome Compiler’s online design tools and e-commerce platform to enable users to design and order DNA or other biological products seamlessly.

This integration will provide a comprehensive solution from design to delivery of first-of-its-kind integrated DNA design and construction service, which promises to be more automated, less expensive, and more sophisticated than current offerings. Customers will benefit from Genome Compiler’s software tools and Amyris’s rich libraries of verified genetic parts, DNA construction and editing methods. This joint project is funded in part by a grant from the Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation (BIRD Foundation), a U.S.-Israeli partnership between private sectors to expand private high-tech industries.
