DNA synthesis at unprecedented scale

Twist Bioscience revolutionized DNA synthesis with the transition from test tube to inkjet technology. Bill Banyai, Twist co-founder, is leading the Atlas team to the next leap in efficiency with custom chip designs and engineered enzymes.

Advancing DNA sequencing
for data storage

Commercial DNA sequencers are improving throughput and cutting costs 1,000× faster than Moore’s Law. Atlas is accelerating this trend for data storage. Using synthetic DNA enables integration of indexing and error correction codes (ECC) into each DNA strand. Our technology delivers orders of magnitude greater efficiency than life science methods, without compromising data integrity.

An elite team of synthetic biology and data storage experts

Our leaders have built breakthrough companies before—and they’re doing it again. We have assembled a team of builders, scientists, and visionaries set on redefining the limits of technology.
