description DNA synthesis and assembly primarily revolve around the innovation and refinement of tools that facilitate the creation of specific genes and the manipulation of entire genomes. This multifaceted process encompasses two fundamental steps: the synthesis of lengthy oligonucleotides and the seamless assembly of numerous DNA fragments. With the advent of automated pipetting workstations and integrated experimental equipment, a substantial portion of repetitive tasks in the field of synthetic biology can now be efficiently accomplished through integrated liquid handling workstations. This not only reduces the need for manual labor but also enhances overall efficiency. This review explores the ongoing advancements in the oligonucleotide synthesis platform, automated DNA assembly techniques, and biofoundries. The development of accurate and high-throughput DNA synthesis and assembly technologies presents both challenges and opportunities.
