Features for designing DNA constructs

The Instant Designer module in the GeneArt Services Dashboard is a powerful and intuitive tool for designing custom genes and DNA fragments. The module’s intuitive navigation allows seamless configuration of new gene synthesis projects. Templates and bulk configuration features make it simpler to place large or frequent orders. Watch for the option to configure and optimize multiple sequences during the import step.

The Instant Designer guide: GeneOptimizer algorithm

Within the Instant Designer module, Thermo Fisher Scientific’s GeneOptimizer algorithm enables true multiparametric optimization. Simply design your synthetic gene and if the optimization option is selected, the GeneOptimizer algorithm will generate a DNA sequence that maximizes expression of the desired protein.

Within the Instant Designer module, there are options to select pre-existing vectors as well as manage vectors from your past orders.

If you’re not sure which vector meets your needs, use the vector selection tool to review Invitrogen vectors available for gene synthesis. Identify the best-suited vectors by filtering by preferred feature, including host system, selection marker, and promoter.
If you prefer to receive your synthetic gene in your own vector, you can onboard the vector online during construct design. Please see our instructions for vector onboarding.

Features for order management

Beyond gene synthesis and optimization, the GeneArt Services Dashboard offers functionality for pricing, personal project templates, order management, tracking orders, as well as plasmid prep and scientific support. Explore the below sections to learn more.

Quotes & estimates

Without entering sequences or configuring projects, the GeneArt Dashboard provides estimated pricing on a range of services. Simply select Pricing from the left navigation menu and enter some basic project details to get an estimate.

The GeneArt Services Dashboard also provides quotes based on your specific project needs:

Gene synthesis—For easy ordering, simply configure a custom DNA project and generate a quote from the cart. This is an ideal solution if you work through a purchasing department for order placement.
Protein expression—Get quick access to the protein expression quote request form. Here, you can provide project details and receive a corresponding quote within 48 hours.
DNA libraries—Easily start a quote request for a directed mutagenesis library.

Order tracking

After placing an order, monitor production status from the ‘Orders & Drafts’ tab of the left navigation menu. The daily progress updates empower you to confidently schedule and prepare resources for upcoming experiments. In addition, this tab also stores past project documentation.

GeneArt Services Dashboard: Additional features

Plasmid prep and custom plasmid storage

Laboratory equipment setup featuring multiple glass containers connected to tubing and pumps

Research grade and pre-clinical grade plasmid DNA is available on any new cloned gene project. In addition, previously produced constructs, now archived, are available for midi- to giga-plasmid-prep scale.

The GeneArt plasmid purification process produces highly pure, homogenous pDNA ready for transfection or transformation.

Project templates

Save frequently used options to a personal project template and apply the template during import on your future projects for greater efficiency. This feature allows you to:

Reuse frequently used construct design
Optimize for expression in the same species and include glycerol stock
Save favorite vector, insertion points, optimization species, delivery options

Technical support

The GeneArt Services Dashboard is designed to be easy to use for designing your constructs and placing orders. But if you get stuck, don’t worry! Our dedicated support team is happy to assist! You can contact us directly through your dashboard.
