   When you say "all internally", do you mean that they are not a gene synthesis provider?

   Some Sanger and some NGS for work we do in-house. Most of our DNA Synthesis providers have moved to NGS, but I can't say with certainty who has and who hasn't.

   Yep, thanks for clarifying. We're using the figures quoted by gene synthesis firms to get the 10%. That makes sense because we're buying 100Mbp of gene synthesis:) We buy lots more DNA in other forms (chip-synthesized oligos etc.)

   I'm one of the founders of Ginkgo (YCS14). I posted some comments on the technical details of the DNA synthesis business here - http://blog.ginkgobioworks.com/2015/11/04/comments-on-gene-s...
