Twist Bioscience (TWST) and Ginkgo Bioworks (DNA) have renegotiated a previous contract signed in 2022 to provide Twist with key licenses to long DNA technology and assets, the companies said Thursday.
Under the revised $15 million agreement, which runs for three years, Ginkgo will continue to be a valued customer of Twist and will prepay annually for orders of Twist's DNA products. It will also receive preferential pricing for DNA products with no required minimum purchase volume.
Twist will receive licenses and assignments for certain long DNA and other technology as well as related reagents to complement its existing DNA synthesis portfolio of products, and Ginkgo will retain the rights to practice the intellectual property transferred to Twist, the announcement states.
