Gene synthesis refers to the technology of artificially synthesizing double-stranded DNA molecules in vitro. It does not rely on extracting genes from organisms, but uses chemical methods to connect single nucleotides in a specific order to construct a complete gene based on a predetermined gene sequence. This technology breaks through the limitations of natural gene acquisition, allowing researchers to accurately customize genes according to their own research and application needs, opening up a new path for life science research and development.
It is mainly based on the solid phase phosphoramidite triester method. During synthesis, the first nucleotide is first fixed on the solid phase carrier, and nucleotides with protective groups are added one by one according to the designed sequence. The phosphodiester bond is formed by chemical reaction and the new nucleotide protective group is removed for subsequent connection. The operation is repeated to synthesize oligonucleotide fragments, and then connected into a complete gene through enzymatic reaction. The accuracy and efficiency of this method provide technical support for the widespread application of gene synthesis.
Gene synthesis has great application value in many fields. In the field of biomedicine, it is used to synthesize vaccine antigen genes and accelerate the development of new vaccines. For example, the development of mRNA vaccines relies on this technology to construct the gene sequence encoding antigens; in gene therapy, specific genes are synthesized to repair or replace defective genes in patients, bringing hope for the treatment of genetic diseases. In the agricultural field, genetically modified crops that are resistant to pests and diseases and resistant to adversity are cultivated through synthetic genes, which can improve crop yield and quality and ensure global food security. In the industrial field, special genetically modified microorganisms are synthesized to produce high-value-added products such as biofuels and bioplastics, promoting the development of green and sustainable industries.
Although gene synthesis technology has developed rapidly, it still faces challenges. On the one hand, the cost of synthesis is high, especially the cost of long-sequence gene synthesis, which limits its large-scale application. On the other hand, there are limitations on the accuracy and length of synthesis. As the sequence length increases, the error rate may increase. In order to meet these challenges, researchers continue to develop new synthesis methods and technologies, such as using new chemical reagents, optimizing reaction conditions to reduce costs, and using advanced sequencing technology and error correction algorithms to improve synthesis accuracy and length. The industry also strengthens cooperation, shares technology and resources to promote technological progress.
Looking to the future, the gene synthesis industry has broad prospects. With the improvement of technology and the reduction of costs, it will be deeply applied in more fields. In the basic research of life sciences, it helps scientists explore the mysteries of life and analyze the functions of genes and the regulatory mechanisms of life activities. In the field of biomedicine, it is expected to develop more personalized and precise treatment plans to overcome difficult and complicated diseases. In the fields of agriculture and industry, it promotes sustainable development, cultivates high-quality crop varieties, and realizes efficient and green industrial production. In the long run, gene synthesis technology may even change all aspects of human life and bring revolutionary changes to the development of human society.
