The shift from traditional oligo synthesis to oligo pool synthesis technology signifies a profound transformation in gene synthesis techniques. This transition has carved out unprecedented and expansive prospects for various field of research, including gene editing, drug development, disease diagnosis, and disease treatment.
Oligo pools are comprised of a vast array of oligonucleotide sequences, all synchronously synthesized on microarray chips utilizing specialized synthesis technologies. Subsequently, these sequences are eluted and dissolved within individual microtubes. Oligo pools have applications in NGS hybrid capture probe libraries, CRISPR sgRNA libraries, and mutation libraries, thereby facilitating subsequent high-throughput screening endeavors.
Traditional oligo synthesis methods, due to its high cost, long cycle, and low efficiency, is gradually evolving into a major obstacle in the scientific research process. However, the emergence of oligo pool synthesis technology has completely broken this deadlock. By synthesizing a large number of oligonucleotides with different sequences at the same time, we can achieve high-throughput, low-cost, rapid, and efficient gene sequence preparation – providing unprecedented convenience and flexibility for scientific researchers.
In the field of oligo synthesis, two primary technologies dominate: semiconductor chip-based synthesis and inkjet synthesis. Each technology possesses their own unique advantages and are suited for different scenarios and requirements.

LacIs (lactose repressor proteins) serves as a pivotal regulatory component of the lactose operon, yet it exhibits a certain degree of “leakiness” in its expression under natural conditions. Thus, limiting its utility in applications requiring precise expression control.
Synbio Technologies’ oligo pool synthesis service has greatly facilitated the authors of this case in successfully constructing multiple mutant libraries. Through high-throughput screening, they identified several LacI mutants that significantly reduced leakiness in their expression, with the M7 mutant standing out particularly. Leveraging the capabilities of the M7 mutant, the researchers constructed a high-value sugar biosensor and proposed a scheme to enhance galactosylation activity through biosensor-based screening.
