Twist Application Programming Interface (TAPI) Now Available for Gene Ordering
In addition to expanding its gene offering in length, Twist also announced the availability of the Twist Application Programming Interface (TAPI) for ordering synthetic genes, oligo pools and gene fragments. TAPI allows customers to integrate their internal software systems seamlessly with Twist’s design and business systems. Importantly, TAPI offers the functionality of the Twist online ordering portal with sequence synthesis analysis, codon optimization, download of plate maps and a comprehensive order tracking process from order placed to shipment received. These features can save time and resources for customers.
“Once available only to our largest customers, we have opened up our TAPI for all customers interested in designing and building genes and their pathways in one step, while at the same time transferring data directly and securely,” continued Dr. Leproust.
About Clonal Perfect Synthetic Genes
Applying its proprietary DNA synthesis technology, Twist manufactures strands of DNA up to five kilobases (5kb) in length. Customers order synthetic genes to conduct a wide range of research, including product development for the healthcare, agricultural, and industrial chemical industries as well as a multitude of applications within academic research. Virtually all research and development requires trial and error, and institutions require many variations of genes to find the DNA sequence that achieves their objectives. Twist offers perfectly clonal genes in either Twist or customer vectors. For more information please click here.
