Hi,

What is the purpose of having a DNA assembly line?

Hi,

Here is a website that explains how DNA is synthesized.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_replication

Here is a video that shows how DNA is synthesized. It would take a really long time to synthesize DNA if it were not done on a assembly line basis.

There are lots of DNA projects on the science buddies website. Are you planning to do a project on DNA synthesis?
