Synthego

Synthego is a genome-engineering company that manufactures synthetic guide RNA (sgRNA, crRNA, trRNA), CRISPR kits, and engineered cells for research and cell/gene-therapy development. Its public Synthego Order API is a third-party integration API that lets partners retrieve current product pricing, generate a priced order preview from a list of guide-RNA sequences, and track an order through to checkout on Synthego's eCommerce site. Authentication is by an API key passed in the SYNTHEGOAPIKEY header. Synthego was surfaced as a portfolio company of SoftBank Vision Fund.

Synthego publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network: Order API. Tagged areas include Company, Health Tech, Genomics, CRISPR, and Biotechnology.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/synthego: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
