Methods and apparatus relate to the synthesis of polynucleotides having a predefined sequence on a support. Assembly methods include primer extension to generate overlapping construction oligonucleotides and assembly of the polynucleotides of interest onto an anchor support-bound oligonucleotides. Methods and apparatus for selection of polynucleotides having the predefined sequence and/or length are disclosed.
