Make the Switch to Twist Gene Fragments

Why Twist is the best place to buy Gene Fragments

Rapid Synthesis

FAST COMES AS STANDARD.

More than ever, time is critical in research. To keep your research moving you need to choose a DNA synthesis provider that helps you minimize idle time through the fast synthesis of every order.Regardless of your order size, whether it's one gene fragment or thousands, Twist ships your Gene Fragments order in 2-4 business days*, helping you iterate faster and make discoveries sooner.

Simple, Transparent Pricing

AVOID HIDDEN FEES AND CREEPING COSTS.

Getting surprise charges on your quote for configurations that should come as standard, or emails from vendors about sudden blanket cost increases is never a good feeling. This is why we keep our synthesis pricing simple, affordable, and without hidden up-charges. Between our reliability, quality, speed and price, you can trust you are getting the best possible value DNA synthesis with Twist.

Higher Quality

TWIST PUTS QUALITY FIRST, HELPING YOU GET IT RIGHT EVERY TIME.

Twist Gene Fragments have an average error rate of 1 error in every 7500 base pairs**. While individual orders are not sequenced to keep TAT as low as possible, we validate our error rates daily using NGS sequencing to ensure we are maintaining high quality synthesis. This can translate into less work at the bench with fewer colony picks needed to identify the perfect sequence.

**All data presented here is current as of June 2025 and comes directly from Twist's internal data. Any competitor data included is compiled strictly from their publicly accessible information and official statements.

Easy to Order

TWIST IS DESIGNED SO THAT EVERYONE CAN ACCESS AND AFFORD QUALITY GENE SYNTHESIS.

Our user-friendly eCommerce platform helps you streamline your workflow. Easily upload your sequence, immediately see real-time pricing and manufacturability insights, and complete your order with confidence. No hidden fees or lengthy quote processes. You'll receive clear order updates via email and can track your progress online, ensuring complete transparency every step of the way.

Carbon Footprint Reduction

SYNTHESIS ON SILICON WITH TWIST REDUCES THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF YOUR SEQUENCES AND USES 99.8% LESS CHEMICALS.

Our DNA synthesis technology can lower your research’s chemical and carbon footprint, significantly reducing emissions and waste. Traditional synthesis methods can emit up to 23,000 grams of CO2e per gene, while Twist’s silicon-based process reduces emissions to just 36g CO2e.

Reliable at Scale

There’s scale, and then there’s Twist scale

WHETHER ITS ONE GENE OR MILLIONS, PRICE, TURNAROUND TIME AND QUALITY STAY THE SAME.

At Twist, scalability and reliability is built into our DNA. Every quarter, we deliver hundreds of thousands of Genes using our well established silicon-based synthesis platform. Regardless of whether you need thousands of genes at once, need hundreds of genes every week, or are a small scale user, we are able to meet the scale your experiments require, and will reliably fulfill every order with the same consistent turnaround and quality.

* Twist time frame of 2-4 business days for Gene Fragments is based on internal data available as of June 2025. This timeframe refers to the typical processing and handling time within our facilities before your order is handed over to the shipping carrier.

What Scientists Have to Say

“

The combination of price and service allows us to do science that we could not otherwise do

PROFESSOR NICHOLAS HARMER

University of Exeter

“

The quality has been excellent, and I find that cloning with these genes is successful more often on the first time than with DNA fragments from other companies.

DR. AMANDA PORTILLO

Institute of Systems and Synthetic Biology

“

The quality of Twist’s gene fragments is so much better than the other vendors I’ve worked with. Their algorithm does a great job of weeding out problematic sequences upfront, so I know I’m going to get a good fragment 99.9% of the time. The customer service is great, and the price is unbeatable.
