Abstract

Methods and systems for automated polynucleotide synthesis design are provided. Example embodiments provide an Automated Polynucleotide Synthesis Design System (“APSDS”), which automatically generates a synthesis design for a designated target sequence specification. In one embodiment, the APSDS comprises a synthesis design engine, user interface support, a synthesis rules data repository, and a synthesis data repository. The APSDS automatically generates a synthesis design by receiving a target sequence(s) specification, generating a potential synthesis design, evaluating the potential design against synthesis rules, and when the evaluation indicates that the potential design is not successful according to the synthesis rules, adjusting the design to generate a new potential synthesis design and repeating the process of evaluating and adjusting until a potential synthesis design is found that satisfies the synthesis rules or until no solution is found.
