Emily Leproust, CEO and cofounder of the buzzy biotech startup Twist Bioscience, is an industrialist on the nanoscale. “I remind everyone at Twist, we are a manufacturing company,” she says. “We manufacture DNA.” (ref)

"Synthesizing a gene is chemistry; getting a gene to work in a cell is biology, and that comes with all of biology’s messiness" (ref)

Therefore, a "chemical mannufacturing company". Twist is not doing biology, and "biotechnology" company is not really apt, in my view... -- Jytdog (talk) 04:00, 24 January 2018 (UTC)Reply

Requested change: Chemical Manufacturing to Biotechnology.

Twist synthesizes genes, but also creates custom DNA oligos, and RNA guides for CRISPR research, and exome panels for NGS applications. These products are not chemical manufacturing as most is done in the lab exactly by making things work in a cell. Twist is doing biology, and 75% of production is from the lab, vs 25% from the manufacturing genes at scale.

Analog: IDT DNA - same products, classified as Biotechnology (correctly). 50.234.201.171 (talk) 00:44, 14 March 2018 (UTC)--50.234.201.171 (talk) 00:44, 14 March 2018 (UTC)Reply
