Our Process

We are implementing a design-build-test-evolve process for continuous strain optimization

Genetic Design

We carefully select the genetic pathways that we want to optimize

Strain Engineering

We assemble and transform the DNA engineered vectors into our host organisms

Library Screening

We measure the efficiency of the engineered strains, both in the lab and the field

Guided Evolution

We select the best strains and optimize around the designs that perform the best
