Can scientist make DNA?

In: Genetics [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes, we can!

We have been successful in making sequences like primers (up to 60 nucleotides long)

The process involves starting with a first nucleotide attached to a bead and throwing in the next nucleotide in ample quantity, hoping some will bind.... followed by washing, and then again next nucleotide

Most of this is robotic, but possible!

It takes a few cents per nucleotide :)
