Talk:Artificial gene synthesis

message: I couldn't figure out what was meant by "Currently available libraries of synthetic genes undergone gene synthesis process consists of dozens of thouthands elements."  I removed it, but the article definitely lost some information in the process.  Iknowyourider (t c) 07:54, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It is OK to remove that. Sorry for being unclear. I was actually referring to libraries like this one: http://www.dna20.com/planetgene.php BTW, thanx for clean up! TestPilot 18:20, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

message: "The letter V was used since there is no amino acid designated by letter U"
There is an amino-acid designated U: Selenocysteine. It is included in proteins in a template-directed manner, but there additional structural conditions for requirement.
Speculation as to why this wasn't used by the Venter institute would of course be original research, but could we update the article to reflect this? At the moment it's in error.Loris (talk) 17:10, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I used the version from 21th April of this Article for translation into the German Wikipedia. Thanks to everyone who has worked on this so far, I hope you don't mind.--LacZ (talk) 20:14, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

message: I'm surprise that this article would claim that this is "often more economical than classical cloning and mutagenesis procedures."  Seems like it's something written by someone who doesn't know how to do cloning and mutagenesis work efficiently and cheaply. Artificial synthesis of a gene not based on traditional molecular cloning methods can only be cheaper on certain procedures, for most standard cloning and mutagenesis work it is still not yet cheaper (it may become cheaper in a few years' time, but for now not yet). Note also that traditional methods such as PCR can also be used to synthesize gene artificially, therefore the title of the article is misleading when it refers only to solid-phase DNA synthesis.

message: Hi all,
I am planning to edit this page to more accurately reflect the different stages of artificial gene synthesis - the current article focuses mainly on oligonucleotide assembly methods, but there is little mention of DNA assembly methods on how to assemble gene constructs from oligonucleotides. I have gone through several other pages, e.g. synthetic genomics, molecular cloning, but those articles also do not make significant mention of DNA assembly methods. There are standalone pages talking about individual methods, e.g. Gibson assembly or BioBricks, but the current state of research in this field has expanded significantly beyond these two methods, and there appears to be a gap in reflecting this on Wikipedia articles related to synthetic biology.Scarecrow399 (talk) 18:24, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
