What they built AssemblyTron is an open-source Python package that turns the ~$10k Opentrons OT-2 (with a thermocycler module) into a hands-free DNA-assembly workstation. It plugs into existing assembly-design tools (j5, Cello, Benchling) and executes the resulting build plans directly on the robot, covering three of the most common synbio assembly chemistries:</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/yutong-wu/homework/week-03-hw-lab-automation/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
