> The startup announced in the spring of 2015 it would be buying 100 million base pairs of DNA to help it move into new production areas but has since upped that amount to the 600 million base pairs and will be partnering with Twist Bioscience and Gen9 to supply the synthetic DNA. Twist has pledged to deliver at least 400 of those base pairs of DNA by the end of 2017.

That last line about Twist delivering 400 base pairs has to be wrong, right? Do they mean 400 million?

Yes should be 400 million. 100 million from our last order plus 300 million in this new order.

Ah great, that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the quick reply!

How do you compare Gen9 and Twist? Do you use each for a specific type of synthesis?
