Harnessing DNA Synthesis to Develop Rapid Responses to Emerging and Pandemic Pathogens

Figure 1

The decrease of large-scale de novo DNA synthesis costs. This graph depicts the decrease in the price per base of large fragment DNA synthesis [23]. As the price decreases, the greater is the applicability of large-scale DNA synthesis as a functional means to combat emerging and pandemic pathogens. The price indicated is defined in US Dollars.
