DNA synthesis has evolved from a primarily research-focused tool to becoming a cornerstone in clinical diagnostics, offering valuable insights into the genetic underpinning of diseases and contributing to more accurate diagnoses & personalized treatment approaches. DNA synthesis has enabled an understanding of genetic variations that may contribute to an individual's susceptibility to diseases or influence the progression of existing conditions. This is particularly evident in the field of cancer genomics, where DNA synthesis is used to characterize the genomic landscape of tumors, identify driver mutations, and guide targeted therapies.

In addition, the field of synthetic biology focused on the design & construction of biological components and systems for novel applications, relies heavily on custom gene synthesis. The rise of gene therapy and genome editing technologies, such as CRISPR-Cas9, requires custom gene synthesis for designing therapeutic genes, regulatory elements, and gene editing tools. Upon realizing the high potential of genomics in medicine and healthcare, researchers are being encouraged to conduct studies based on artificial gene synthesis. Programs such as the Precision Medicine Initiative, and advancements in companion diagnostic studies have increased the adoption of expression analysis. A high number of expression studies that utilize probes and primers is anticipated to boost the demand for DNA synthesis.

Furthermore, the regulatory environment for genetic research varies from country to country. Many developed and emerging countries recently introduced changes in the regulatory policies related to gene editing and genetic engineering. Identifying the potential applications of genetics in medicine and human health, restrictions on genetic studies have been lifted to allow research for medicine and health. This provides researchers an opportunity to practically implement existing knowledge as well as explore novel approaches.
