Genome Project-write (GP-write)
GP-write is an open, international research effort to make the design, synthesis, and testing of whole genomes faster, cheaper, and safer, so scientists can move beyond reading and editing DNA to writing it with precision.
Launched in 2016, GP-write has brought together hundreds of researchers, companies, and policy experts through its working groups, annual meetings, and community projects, with a sustained focus on the ethical, legal, and social questions that genome writing raises.
GP-write is relaunching. Advances in DNA synthesis and assembly are bringing whole-genome writing within reach. We are building a new program to help the field get there responsibly. To stay informed or get involved, contact us.
GP-write is a program of the Center of Excellence for Engineering Biology (CEEB), a non-profit founded in 2016.
