Notes

DNA Script is a biotechnology company headquartered in Paris, France, with US operations in San Francisco. The company has developed a breakthrough enzymatic DNA synthesis (EDS) technology that enables DNA to be synthesized using enzymes rather than traditional chemical methods.

The company's SYNTAX System is a benchtop instrument that allows researchers to synthesize custom DNA oligonucleotides on-demand in their own laboratories, dramatically reducing turnaround time from days to hours. This technology has applications across life sciences research, diagnostics development, and synthetic biology.

DNA Script has raised significant funding and established partnerships with major research institutions and pharmaceutical companies to advance applications of enzymatic DNA synthesis.
