Report excerpt

A team led by Luo Xiaozhou at the Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, published the OSAR platform in Nature Communications. The platform integrates cloning and expression refactoring of large biosynthetic gene clusters into a one-step automated workflow, with PARBiG software performing automated design of primers and homology arms. Combined with a Tecan liquid-handling workstation and a Spinnaker robot, dozens of expression strains can be constructed in about 10 days.
