Opentrons Artwork Post-Lab Questions Question 1. My chosen article, entitled ‘AssemblyTron: flexible automation of DNA assembly with Opentrons OT-2 lab robots’, details novel development within the field of synthetic biology and automated lab operations in regards to DNA assembly. Compared to other steps in the DBTL cycle of synbio, building has progressed the least in terms of automation, optimization and algorithmical performance. This step often involves DNA assembly, which continues to be done manually, with low throughput and often unreliable results.
