DNA printing on a synthetic polymer template

这个项目旨在设计和研究DNA打印，利用简单而优雅的基本非酶化学反应来制造长链DNA。基因疗法是现代医学中发展最迅速的疗法之一，但对普通人来说，它的成本过高。目前人工基因合成方法复杂，商业DNA合成只提供短DNA链。该项目的成果将导致一个稳定的模板，指导DNA打印的化学反应。这种新方法将使挽救生命的基因治疗更便宜，更广泛地为子孙后代提供，并为所有澳大利亚人提供经济和社会效益。

This project aims to design and study DNA printing to manufacture long strands of DNA using simple but elegant fundamental non-enzymatic chemical reactions. Gene therapy is one of the most rapidly growing therapies in modern medicine but it is prohibitively expensive for the average person. Current methods of artificial gene synthesis are complicated with commercial DNA synthesis only supplying short DNA strands. The project outcomes will lead to a stable template directing the chemical reactions for DNA printing. This new approach will make life-saving gene therapy cheaper and more widely available for future generations and provide economic, and social benefits to all Australians.
