Solid-phase Synthesis of DNA and RNA
Relatively short fragments of DNA, RNA, and modified oligonucleotides are also synthesized by the solid-phase method. Although oligonucleotides can be synthesized in a flask, they are almost always synthesized on solid phase using a DNA/RNA synthesizer. For a more comprehensive review, see oligonucleotide synthesis.

Famous quotes containing the words synthesis and/or dna:
“The invention of photography provided a radically new picture-making process—a process based not on synthesis but on selection. The difference was a basic one. Paintings were made—constructed from a storehouse of traditional schemes and skills and attitudes—but photographs, as the man on the street put, were taken.”
—Jean Szarkowski (b. 1925)
“Here [in London, history] ... seemed the very fabric of things, as if the city were a single growth of stone and brick, uncounted strata of message and meaning, age upon age, generated over the centuries to the dictates of some now all-but-unreadable DNA of commerce and empire.”
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
