Twist Bioscience is a public biotechnology company based in South San Francisco that manufactures synthetic DNA and DNA products for customers in a wide range of industries.[2] Twist was founded in 2013 by Emily Leproust, Bill Banyai, and Bill Peck.
The company was represented by Leproust at a March 2021 tabletop exercise at the Munich Security Conference simulating an outbreak of weaponized monkeypox.[3]
In May 2021, Twist Bioscience and Genome Project-Write launched a new CAD platform for whole genome design. The CAD will automate workflows to enable collaborative efforts critical for scale-up from designing plasmids to megabases across entire genomes.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
