FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our service.

Traditional degenerate approaches (NNK/NNS) introduce only 32 codons with significant codon bias and 9% stop codons. Our precision variant libraries use base-by-base synthesis to include all 64 codons, eliminate stop codons and unwanted motifs, and provide precise control over amino acid distribution at every position. This results in >99% functional variant coverage and dramatically reduces screening burden.

Every library undergoes comprehensive next-generation sequencing (NGS) verification before delivery. We sequence the full library at high coverage depth to confirm that all designed variants are present in the expected ratios, identify any sequencing errors, and verify that no unwanted variants are introduced. Detailed NGS QC reports are included with every delivery.

We offer three main library types: (1) Site Saturation Libraries - systematic single-position mutagenesis with all amino acid substitutions at each target residue; (2) Combinatorial Variant Libraries - multi-site simultaneous mutagenesis for capturing epistatic interactions; (3) Deep Mutagenesis Libraries - comprehensive scanning across large protein regions or entire domains. All libraries can be delivered as dsDNA fragments or cloned into plasmids.

Our silicon-based synthesis platform enables billions of variants in combinatorial libraries. For site saturation, we support up to 1,000+ positions per library. Library complexity depends on the number of mutation sites, amino acid diversity at each site, and gene fragment length (up to 4.5 kb). We provide consultation to optimize library design for your specific screening throughput.

Yes, we provide free codon optimization for any host organism including E. coli, yeast, mammalian cells, and others. Our algorithms consider codon usage bias, GC content, mRNA secondary structure, and repetitive sequences. Custom optimization parameters can be specified for special expression requirements or to avoid specific restriction sites.

Yes, we offer optional cloning services into your custom vector or our catalog vectors. All cloning undergoes rigorous quality control including restriction enzyme analysis and sequencing verification. Our modular synthesis system also supports iterative library design where initial screening results inform subsequent library iterations.
