Description

Custom synthesis of highly specific DNA molecules based on user defined data. DNA molecules can be provided as pools, cloned sequences, or separated oligonucleotides. These libraries of DNA sequences can be used for diverse uses within UKHSA, most notably, for the design and building of sequencing-based serology techniques such as PhIP-seq and MIPSA, a next-generation method that is at the forefront of immunology research.
