Combinatorial DNA libraries are essential to modern protein research. In this article, we present the most commonly used approaches and technologies available for combinatorial library synthesis and explain their associated codon bias, amino acid distribution, error rate, yield, library diversity, and quality. We demonstrate that Twist Bioscience’s proprietary silicon-based solid-phase technology stands apart with its impressive ability to offer high throughput and low cost while enabling tight control of library quality and diversity.
