Gene Synthesis & Fragments

Accelerate the build phase of your Design-Build-Test cycle with gene fragments synthesized to your exact specifications. Together, we can engineer the future of synthetic and molecular biology and bring your ideas to life.

"iGEM teams will live in the future of synthetic biology, where the cost of obtaining DNA fragments is no longer a limiting factor. Thanks to IDT, teams can focus on imagining, engineering, and testing novel systems to solve important world problems. This is the promise of custom gene synthesis and the industry's future."

Screen fewer colonies with the improved fidelity of IDT gene fragments

Spend less time screening. Our proprietary gene synthesis and error correction processes yield DNA fragments with fewer errors, resulting in more correct clones.
IDT gBlocks and gBlocks HiFi Gene Fragments produce a higher percentage of correct colonies when compared to two other suppliers based on screening and sequencing of 24 colonies per sequence.
