SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the manual, error-prone process of ordering Twist DNA synthesis by translating a sequence design into a ready-to-order synthesis request via the Twist API.

Core Features & Use Cases

Order clonal genes, gene blocks, and gene fragments via Twist Bioscience API.
Support codon-optimized sequences and flexible delivery options for synthesis.
Typical workflow includes codon optimization, quote retrieval, and placing an order from your lab notebook or automation pipeline.

Quick Start

Run twist_order with your sequence and project details to submit a Twist synthesis order.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate Twist Bioscience DNA synthesis ordering from a sequence?▼

Automate Twist DNA synthesis ordering by running the twist_order command with your sequence, project name, recipient, and payment details to translate designs into ready-to-order synthesis requests via the Twist API.

What do I need to set up before placing a Twist gene order through an API?▼

Placing a Twist gene order requires setting the TWIST_API_TOKEN and TWIST_USER_EMAIL environment variables, alongside providing required order fields like sequence, name, recipient, and payment details.

Can I order codon-optimized clonal genes and gene blocks via the Twist API?▼

Yes, you can order codon-optimized clonal genes and gene blocks via the Twist API by running the twist_order gene or twist_order gene-block commands with your target sequence.

What is the best way to integrate Twist DNA synthesis into a lab automation workflow?▼

Integrate Twist DNA synthesis into a lab workflow by executing twist_order commands from your lab notebook or automation pipeline to retrieve quotes and place synthesis orders directly from sequence input.

What limitations exist when ordering gene fragments through the Twist API?▼

Ordering gene fragments through the Twist API requires complete payment and recipient details for each request, and you must configure valid TWIST_API_TOKEN and TWIST_USER_EMAIL environment variables before submission.
