Oligo Pools: High-Quality, Scalable DNA Synthesis

Twist Bioscience’s Oligo Pools are highly diverse collections of single-stranded DNA oligonucleotides synthesized using their proprietary silicon-based DNA writing technology. This platform enables the massively parallel production of hundreds of thousands of high-quality, accurate oligos per run, facilitating the generation of complex and diverse oligo pools for various applications.

Key Features:

  • Oligo Length: Up to 300 nucleotides

  • Pool Size: No limits on pool size

  • Yield: 0.2 fmol average per oligo

  • Uniformity: 90% of oligos represented within less than 2.0x of the mean

  • Error Rate: Up to 1:3000

These oligo pools are ideal for applications such as CRISPR screening, massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs), and other high-throughput experiments requiring precise and uniform oligonucleotide synthesis.

Cloned Oligo Pools:

For researchers requiring cloned oligo pools, Twist Bioscience offers an optimized cloning service that synthesizes, amplifies, and clones user-designed oligo pool libraries. This service ensures high uniformity and low error rates, with chimera rates as low as 1.5%. Turnaround times range from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the oligo length and vector requirements.

Variant Libraries: Customized Diversity

Twist Bioscience’s variant libraries are tailored to support protein engineering, antibody discovery, and functional genomics. Utilizing high-fidelity oligo synthesis, the platform enables the creation of:

  • Combinatorial Variant Libraries: Comprehensive libraries covering vast sequence space for directed evolution studies.

  • Site Saturation Libraries: Focused libraries targeting specific residues for deep mutational scanning.

  • TCR Libraries: Diverse T-cell receptor libraries for immunotherapy research. 

These libraries are synthesized with precision, ensuring each variant is accurately represented.
