Source: Synthesis and sequencing service prices verified against each vendor's own published pages on 2026-08-24 by hubs/biobricks.org/ingest_vendors.py: every quoted figure re-fetched and matched verbatim (hash-pinned); class coverage evidenced by the vendor's live service page.

biobasic.com Bio Basic Gene Synthesis page (advertised promotional price per base pair, no order limit) (vendor's own published page, quoted verbatim with retrieval date)
genscript.com GenScript Gene Synthesis page (GenGenius flat-rate construct price, includes cloning and plasmid prep) (vendor's own published page, quoted verbatim with retrieval date)
quintarabio.com Quintara Biosciences services page (whole plasmid / amplicon sequencing per sample) (vendor's own published page, quoted verbatim with retrieval date)
twistbioscience.com Twist Bioscience Genes product page (cloning vector add-on) (vendor's own published page, quoted verbatim with retrieval date)

Methodology: Every rendered figure is a price the vendor publishes on its own page, re-fetched and matched verbatim (the quote and its retrieval date travel with the cell), then hash-pinned; a vendor that publishes no price is listed with that fact, never an estimate. Figures are advertised ENTRY prices -- the vendor's own 'from' number -- so sequence complexity, construct length, turnaround and delivery format all move the quoted total, and these compare starting points rather than final invoices.
