SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Twist Bioscience Corporation (NASDAQ: TWST), a company enabling customers to succeed through its offering of high-quality synthetic DNA using its silicon platform, today announced it has become a part of the Digital Preservation Coalition’s (DPC) Supporter Program, where members and solution providers can collaborate.

The Digital Preservation Coalition is a membership-based organization, established in 2002 initially as a collaboration between a number of agencies operating in the UK and Ireland, now with global membership. The DPC works to enable its members to deliver resilient long-term access to digital content and services to derive enduring value from digital assets and raises awareness of the strategic, cultural and technological challenges their members face.

“Our members store immensely rich and valuable cultural and organizational data, with much of that data archived for a long period of time,” commented William Kilbride, executive director of the DPC. “With DNA storage moving from the trial stage to practical implementation, we believe that it will be valuable for our members to evaluate this new differentiated storage medium, particularly with the opportunity to provide input on the initial offering.”

“We are pleased to join the Digital Preservation Coalition and are eager to be an active member of the group,” said Emily M. Leproust, Ph.D., CEO and co-founder of Twist. “We look forward to engaging with members to understand their needs for very long-term storage as we refine our Century Archive DNA data storage solution.”

About TWST

at twist bioscience, our expertise is synthetic dna. we have developed a proprietary semiconductor-based synthetic dna manufacturing process featuring a 10,000-well silicon platform capable of producing synthetic biology tools, such as oligonucleotides, genes, pathways, chassis and genomes. by synthesizing dna on silicon instead of on traditional 96-well plastic plates, our platform overcomes the current inefficiencies of synthetic dna production, and enables cost-effective, rapid, high-quality and high throughput synthetic gene production. the twist bioscience platform has the potential to greatly accelerate the development of personalized medicine, sustainable chemical production, improved agriculture production as well as new applications such as in vivo diagnostics, biodetection and data storage. for more information, please visit www.twistbioscience.com .
