More efficient, cost-effective method for accurate synthesis of DNA

DNA is a genetic material that continues to survive only through replication, either naturally or synthetically. Humans require reproduction of DNA to replace damaged or old cells, but the potential to replicate DNA in a laboratory setting can allow scientists understand the disease mechanisms or the platform to develop treatments.
