Claim:
1. An automated system for receiving biological sequence information and activating the synthesis of a functional biological entity, comprising: a receiving unit for receiving a signal encoding biological sequence information transmitted from a transmitting unit, the transmitting unit present at a remote location from the receiving unit; an assembly unit connected to the receiving unit, for assembling the biological entity according to the biological sequence information, the assembly unit comprising or connected to vessels containing biological building block molecules and containing components for transporting reagents within the system and for executing steps in an automated method for synthesizing the functional biological entity through multiple levels of biological assembly, wherein the multiple levels of biological assembly comprise 1) the synthesis of a plurality of oligonucleotides by linking nucleotides or nucleoside phosphoramidites, and 2) the assembly of one or more dsDNA molecule(s) by joining the plurality of oligonucleotides; wherein the receiving unit receives the biological sequence information and provides it to the assembly unit, and the assembly unit comprises components for the assembly of the biological entity in an automated method.
