This review describes the application of oligonucleotides, which are mainly obtained using DNA synthesizers of a new generation (microarray DNA synthesizers), for the enrichment of target genomic fragments. The methods of molecular hybridization, polymerase chain reaction, and CRISPR-Cas9 system for this purpose are considered. Examples of the practical use of the developed methods for research and diagnostic purposes are given.

Long oligos: direct chemical synthesis of genes with up to 1728 nucleotides.

The longest oligos that can be chemically synthesized are considered to be 200-mers. Here, we report direct synthesis of an 800-mer green fluorescent protein gene and a 1728-mer 29 DNA polymerase gene on an automated synthesizer. Key innovations that enabled this breakthrough include conducting the synthesis on a smooth surface rather than within the pores of traditional supports, and the use of the powerful catching-by-polymerization (CBP) method for isolating the full-length oligos from a complex mixture.

Phosphorodiamidate Morpholino Oligonucleotides (PMOs) have been well established in the milieu of FDA-approved oligonucleotide-based drugs in the past decade. Given their relevance in antisense therapeutics, a DNA/RNA synthesizer-compatible modular synthesis protocol of PMOs is long awaited to explore next-generation PMO chimeras with other therapeutically proven oligonucleotide backbones. Herein, we demonstrate a streamlined 5' → 3'phosphoramidite approach for the synthesis of PMOs using -butyl-protected 5'-morpholino phosphoramidites, which were synthesized from 5'-OH morpholino monomers derived from commercially available ribonucleosides.

Article Synopsis
- Advances in easy-to-use benchtop DNA synthesizers have made DNA synthesis more accessible to non-specialists, but this increased access introduces vulnerabilities, particularly through substitution attacks that threaten biosecurity.
- The article examines the emerging issues in cyberbiosecurity, focusing on a new type of attack that bypasses traditional screening methods, and discusses the vulnerabilities present in current DNA screening algorithms.
- It advocates for a comprehensive approach to cyberbiosecurity that includes improved screening processes and innovation to protect the safety and integrity of synthesized genetic material amid the growing use of DNA synthesis technologies.

Article Synopsis
- Metal-mediated artificial base pairs are important for creating advanced DNA materials and structures through coordination bonds between nucleobases and metal ions.
- This review highlights enzymatic methods as a promising alternative to traditional solid-phase synthesis for producing DNA strands with these artificial nucleotides, due to their mild conditions and lack of protecting groups.
- Enzymatic techniques enable the integration of ligand-bearing nucleotides into DNA, paving the way for applications in developing metal-responsive materials, like molecular sensors and nanomachines.

Efficient preparation of DNA oligonucleotides containing unnatural nucleobases (UBs) that can pair with their cognates to form unnatural base pairs (UBPs) is an essential prerequisite for the application of UBPs in vitro and in vivo. Traditional preparation of oligonucleotides containing unnatural nucleobases largely relies on solid-phase synthesis, which needs to use unstable nucleoside phosphoramidites and a DNA synthesizer, and is environmentally unfriendly and limited in product length. To overcome these limitations of solid-phase synthesis, we developed enzymatic methods for daily laboratory preparation of DNA oligonucleotides containing unnatural nucleobase dNaM, dTPT3, or one of the functionalized dTPT3 derivatives, which can be used for orthogonal DNA labeling or the preparation of DNAs containing UBP dNaM-dTPT3, one of the most successful UBPs to date, based on the template-independent polymerase terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT).
