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:
“It is in this impossibility of attaining to a synthesis of the inner life and the outward that the inferiority of the biographer to the novelist lies. The biographer quite clearly sees Peel, say, seated on his bench while his opponents overwhelm him with perhaps undeserved censure. He sees him motionless, miserable, his head bent on his breast. He asks himself: “What is he thinking?” and he knows nothing.”
—Andre Maurois (1885–1967)
“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)
