Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Business The mission of Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings, Inc. (“Ginkgo” or the “Company”) is to make biology easier to engineer. The Company designs custom cells for customers across multiple markets. Since inception, the Company has devoted its efforts to improving its platform for programming cells to enable customers to leverage biology to create impactful products across a range of industries. The Company’s platform comprises (i) equipment, robotic automation, software, data pipelines and tools, and standard operating procedures for high throughput genetic engineering, fermentation, and analytics (referred to collectively as the “Foundry”), (ii) a library of proprietary genetic assets and associated performance data (referred to collectively as “Codebase”), and (iii) the Company’s team of expert users, developers and operators of the Foundry and Codebase. With a mission to make biology easier to engineer, the Company has recognized the need to invest in biosecurity as a key component of its platform. The Company’s biosecurity and public health unit, Concentric by Ginkgo, is building a global infrastructure for biosecurity to empower governments, communities, and public health leaders to prevent, detect and respond to a wide variety of biological threats. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain detailed disclosures which would normally be included with annual financial statements have been omitted. In the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been made. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, majority owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities if the Company is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates used in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements include, among others, revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, the fair value of non-cash consideration received from customers, the fair value of certain notes receivable, the fair value of certain investments including equity method investments, the fair value of warrant liabilities, the allocation of equity method investment losses under the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method, the incremental borrowing rate used in determining lease liabilities, impairment of long-lived assets, allowance for credit losses, accrued expenses and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other market-specific or relevant assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Reported amounts and disclosures reflect the overall economic conditions that management believes are most likely to occur, and the anticipated measures management intends to take. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. All revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no new or material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in Note 2 to the Company's 2022 consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Retrospective Application of a Change in Accounting Principle The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”), which supersedes the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 840, Leases (“ASC 840”), effective January 1, 2022. As the Company elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, ASC 842 was adopted in connection with the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022. As such, the comparative information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 has been adjusted herein to reflect the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 as of January 1, 2022.

Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The following tables present information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands): As of September 30, 2023 Classification Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Money market funds Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,019,232 $ 1,019,232 $ — $ — Synlogic, Inc. warrants (1) Investments 477 — 477 — Marketable equity securities (2) Investments 20,148 18,842 1,306 — Loan receivable Prepaid expenses and other current assets 100 — — 100 Notes receivable Other non-current assets 39,860 — 30,000 9,860 Total assets $ 1,079,817 $ 1,038,074 $ 31,783 $ 9,960 Liabilities: Public Warrants Warrant liabilities $ 7,934 $ 7,934 $ — $ — Private Placement Warrants (3) Warrant liabilities 4,321 — 125 4,196 Contingent consideration Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 23,838 — — 23,838 Contingent consideration Other non-current liabilities 7,488 — — 7,488 Total liabilities $ 43,581 $ 7,934 $ 125 $ 35,522 As of December 31, 2022 Classification Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Money market funds Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,089,026 $ 1,089,026 $ — $ — Synlogic, Inc. warrants (1) Investments 1,937 — 1,937 — Marketable equity securities (2) Investments 25,714 21,312 4,402 — Notes receivable Other non-current assets 37,660 — 30,000 7,660 Total assets $ 1,154,337 $ 1,110,338 $ 36,339 $ 7,660 Liabilities: Public Warrants Warrant liabilities $ 6,900 $ 6,900 $ — $ — Private Placement Warrants (3) Warrant liabilities 3,968 — 108 3,860 Contingent consideration Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 6,378 — — 6,378 Contingent consideration Other non-current liabilities 18,095 — — 18,095 Total liabilities $ 35,341 $ 6,900 $ 108 $ 28,333 (1) The fair value of Synlogic, Inc. warrants is calculated as the quoted price of the underlying common stock, less the unpaid exercise price of the warrants. (2) Marketable equity securities classified as Level 2 reflect a discount for lack of marketability due to regulatory sales restrictions. (3) The fair value of Private Placement Warrants classified as Level 2 is equivalent to that of Public Warrants as the transfer of Private Placement Warrants to anyone other than the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees results in the Private Placement Warrants having substantially the same terms as the Public Warrants. Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2 and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which a change in valuation technique or methodology occurs. Transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were due to a lapse on regulatory sales restrictions on marketable equity securities. There were no other transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, or 3 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. Notes Receivable The Company has elected the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments , to account for its notes receivable. Notes receivable accounted for under the fair value option are marked to market as of each balance sheet date with changes in fair value recorded in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, notes receivable measured at fair value on a recurring basis primarily consisted of a $30.0 million senior secured note (“Senior Secured Note”) purchased from Bolt Threads, Inc. and a series of convertible promissory notes issued by customers as payment for Cell Engineering services. The Company used the yield method to value the Senior Secured Note. Under this method, the estimated future cash flows, consisting of principal and interest payments, are discounted to present value using an applicable market yield or discount rate. Increases or decreases in the market yield or discount rate would result in a decrease or increase, respectively, in the fair value measurement. The market yield is determined using a corporate bond yield curve corresponding to the credit rating category of the issuer. The fair value of the Senior Secured Note is based on observable market inputs, which represents a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The Company used a scenario-based method to value the series of convertible promissory notes from customers. Under the scenario-based method, future cash flows are evaluated under qualified financing, maturity and dissolution scenarios, probability-weighted, and discounted to present value. The significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs used in the fair value measurement as of September 30, 2023 were scenario probabilities of 15% to 55%, a discount rate of 17% and estimated time to event date of one as of December 31, 2022 were scenario probabilities of 15% to 55%, a discount rate of 12.5% and estimated time to event date of one The following table provides a reconciliation of notes and loans receivable measured at fair value using Level 3 significant unobservable inputs for the nine months ended September 30 (in thousands): 2023 2022 Balance at January 1, $ 7,660 $ 11,559 Additions 4,106 — Change in fair value (1,806) 269 Balance at September 30, $ 9,960 $ 11,828 Warrant Liabilities In connection with the Company's merger with Soaring Eagle Acquisition Corp. (“SRNG”) on September 16, 2021, the Company assumed 34.5 million publicly-traded warrants (“Public Warrants”) and 17.3 million private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) previously issued in connection with SRNG’s initial public offering. The fair value of the Public Warrants is based on the observable quoted price of such warrants on the New York Stock Exchange. The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The primary unobservable input used in the valuation of the Private Placement Warrants is expected stock-price volatility. The Company estimated the volatility of its Private Placement Warrants using a Monte-Carlo simulation of the redeemable Public Warrants that assumes optimal exercise of the Company's redemption option at the earliest possible date. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. The dividend yield is based on the historical rate, which the Company anticipates remaining at zero. The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 inputs used in the recurring valuation of the Private Placement Warrants as of their measurement dates: September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Exercise price $ 11.50 $ 11.50 Stock price $ 1.81 $ 1.69 Volatility 79.0 % 71.5 % Term (in years) 2.96 3.71 Risk-free interest rate 4.83 % 4.11 % The following table provides a reconciliation of the Private Placement Warrants measured at fair value using Level 3 significant unobservable inputs for the nine months ended September 30 (in thousands): 2023 2022 Balance at January 1, $ 3,860 $ 58,558 Change in fair value 336 (43,658) Balance at September 30, $ 4,196 $ 14,900 Contingent Consideration In connection with the acquisition of FGen in April 2022, the Company is required to make contingent earnout payments up to $20.0 million primarily related to the successful integration and deployment of the FGen technology across the Company's programs. In connection with the acquisition of Dutch DNA Biotech B.V. (“Dutch DNA”) in July 2021, the Company is required to make contingent earnout payments up to a maximum of $20.0 million payable upon the achievement of certain technical and commercial milestones by Dutch DNA pursuant to a Technical Development Agreement executed between the Company and Dutch DNA prior to the close of the acquisition. In connection with the acquisition of Circularis Biotechnologies, Inc., (“Circularis”) in October 2022, the Company is required to make contingent earnout payments up to a maximum of $37.5 million payable primarily upon the achievement of certain clinical trial milestones over a five-year period, $2.5 million of which was achieved in October 2023. In connection with the acquisition of Altar SAS (“Altar”) in October 2022, the Company is required to make contingent earnout payments up to $2.5 million upon the successful transfer of the Altar technology to Ginkgo's sites in the U.S. The Company also issued restricted stock related to acquisitions that is subject to vesting conditions and is classified as contingent consideration liability. The fair value of contingent consideration related to restricted stock was estimated using the quoted price of Ginkgo's Class A common stock, an estimate of the number of shares expected to vest, probability of vesting, and a discount rate. The fair value of contingent consideration related to earnout payments from acquisitions was estimated using unobservable (Level 3) inputs as illustrated in the table below. Material increases or decreases in these inputs could result in a higher or lower fair value measurement. Changes in the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company can settle all contingent consideration liabilities, other than those related to the Dutch DNA acquisition, in cash or shares of Class A common stock at the Company’s election. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company settled $4.8 million in contingent consideration liabilities through payment of $1.5 million in cash and vesting of 1.6 million shares of restricted stock valued at $3.2 million. Of that amount, $1.4 million related to the Circularis asset acquisition was recorded as an increase to the acquired intangible asset with an offset to additional paid-in-capital as the contingent consideration liability was deemed not probable until the filing of a registration statement. The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 inputs used in the fair value measurements of contingent consideration liabilities as of the periods presented: September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Contingent Consideration Liability Valuation Technique Unobservable Input Range Range Earnout payments (FGen, Dutch DNA, Circularis and Altar acquisitions) Probability-weighted present value Probability of payment 10% - 100% 2% - 100% Discount rate 14.5% - 15.3% 12.2% - 13.1% Earnout payments (Dutch DNA acquisition) Discounted cash flow Projected years of payments 2025 - 2028 2025 - 2028 Discount rate 11.5 % 12.0 % The following table provides a reconciliation of the contingent consideration measured at fair value using Level 3 significant unobservable inputs for the nine months ended September 30 (in thousands): 2023 2022 Balance at January 1, $ 24,473 $ 8,467 Additions 1,397 13,150 Change in fair value 10,217 58 Settlements and payments (4,761) (2,644) Balance at September 30, $ 31,326 $ 19,031 Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements The Company measures the fair value of certain assets, including investments in privately held companies without readily determinable fair values, on a nonrecurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable and when there are observable price changes for the identical or similar security of the same issuer. The fair value of non-marketable equity securities is classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy when the Company estimates fair value using unobservable inputs to measure the amount of the impairment loss. The fair value of non-marketable equity securities is classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy when the Company estimates fair value using the observable transaction price paid by third party investors for the identical or similar security of the same issuer. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $33.0 million impairment loss related to its investment in Genomatica preferred stock. The fair value measurement was determined using the guideline public company method under the market approach. The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation included the selection and analysis of guideline public companies, revenue multiple and other unobservable assumptions. Additionally, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $1.6 million downward adjustment from an observable price change related to one of its investments in non-marketable equity securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company received $11.0 million in Simple Agreement for Future Equity arrangements (“SAFEs”) from customers as prepayment for Cell Engineering services. The Company used a scenario-based method to value the SAFEs at contract inception, which resulted in a total fair value of $4.5 million. Under the scenario-based method, future cash flows were evaluated under qualified financing and dissolution scenarios with partial recovery and no recovery in dissolution. The cash flows under each scenario were probability-weighted and discounted to present value. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement were scenario probabilities of 20% to 60%, a discount rate of 14% and estimated time to event date of one During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $1.8 million impairment loss related to a SAFE to write-down its carrying amount to its estimated fair value. The fair value measurement of the impairment loss was determined using the scenario-based method, whereby dissolution scenarios with partial recovery and no recovery were probability weighted 15% and 85%, respectively, and discounted to present value using a discount rate of 14%. |

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] | |
Investments and Equity Method Investments | Investments and Equity Method Investments The Company partners with other investors to form business ventures, including Motif FoodWorks, Inc. (“Motif”), Allonnia, LLC (“Allonnia”), Arcaea, LLC (“Arcaea”), Verb Biotics, LLC (“Verb”), BiomEdit, LLC (“BiomEdit”) and Ayana Bio, LLC (“Ayana”) (collectively “Platform Ventures”). The Company also partners with existing entities, including Genomatica, Inc. (“Genomatica”) and Synlogic, Inc. (“Synlogic”) (collectively, “Legacy Structured Partnerships”) with complementary assets for high potential synthetic biology applications. The Company holds equity interests in these Platform Ventures and Structured Partnerships. The Company also holds equity interests in other public and private companies as a result of entering into collaboration and license revenue arrangements with these entities. The Company accounts for its investments in Platform Ventures under the equity method. The Company's marketable equity securities consist of Synlogic common stock, Synlogic warrants and the shares of common stock of other publicly traded companies. Marketable equity securities are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in other (expense) income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company’s non-marketable equity securities consist of preferred stock of Genomatica and preferred and common stock of other privately held companies without readily determinable fair values. Non-marketable equity securities are initially recorded using the measurement alternative at cost and subsequently adjusted for any impairment and observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar security of the same issuer. The Company recorded a $33.0 million impairment loss related to its investment in Genomatica for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and a $10.1 million impairment loss related to its investment in Genomatica for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $1.6 million downward adjustment from an observable price change related to its investments in non-marketable equity securities. There were no adjustments from observable price changes during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Impairment losses and adjustments from observable price changes are recorded in loss on investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company also holds investments in early-stage synthetic biology product companies via SAFEs. The Company enters into SAFE agreements in conjunction with a revenue contract with a customer under which the Company grants the customer a prepaid Cell Engineering services credit equal to the principal amount of the SAFE (the “Purchase Amount”), which may be used and drawn down as payment for the Company’s research and development services. The SAFEs will automatically convert into shares of preferred stock equal to the Purchase Amount divided by the discount price, which is calculated as the price per share sold in a qualified equity financing multiplied by a discount rate. The SAFEs also provide the Company with the right to future equity of the entity in a liquidation scenario or the cash-out amount in liquidation and dissolution scenarios or at the election of the SAFE issuer prior to an agreed outside date. The Company initially records SAFEs at fair value (see Note 3) and adjusts the carrying amount of the instrument at each reporting period for any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for an identical or similar instrument of the same issuer. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a $1.8 million impairment charge related to SAFEs, included as a component of loss on investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. There was no impairment recorded during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2022 and no adjustments from observable price changes during any of the periods presented.

Variable Interest Entity, Measure of Activity [Abstract] | |
Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities Consolidated Variable Interest Entity The Company consolidated Cooksonia, LLC (“Cooksonia”), a variable interest entity (“VIE”) formed by the Company and certain other investors for the purposes of holding the Company’s investment in the Joyn Bio, LLC (“Joyn Bio”) joint venture, prior to the joint venture's termination in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company concluded that it held a variable interest in and was the primary beneficiary of Cooksonia as it controlled the most significant activities of Cooksonia by controlling 100% of the board of directors of Cooksonia and held a controlling financial interest in Cooksonia. Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entities During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, Verb and Ayana each hired a new chief executive officer who was not an affiliate, related party or agent of Ginkgo. The respective chief executive officer was also appointed to each entity's joint steering committee (“JSC”) and board of directors. As a result, the Company concluded it no longer had substantive control of each entity's JSC and board of directors. Accordingly, the Company concluded that it was no longer the primary beneficiary of Verb and Ayana as it no longer controlled the most significant activities of the entities. As a result of this change in the primary beneficiary determination, the Company deconsolidated Verb in the first quarter of 2022 and Ayana in the third quarter of 2022 and recorded a gain on deconsolidation of $16.0 million and $31.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The gain on deconsolidation was equal to the fair value of the retained interest in each entity as of the deconsolidation date and was calculated using the option pricing method. The option pricing method used a back-solve methodology to infer the total equity value based on the pricing of the Series A preferred unit financing, which is the most recent financing transaction to the deconsolidation event. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has concluded that its investments in Motif, Allonnia, Genomatica, Arcaea, BiomEdit, Verb and Ayana (collectively, the “Unconsolidated VIEs”) represent variable interests and that these entities are VIEs. Although the Company may have board representation and is involved in the ongoing development activities of the entities via its participation on the JSC, the Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of these entities. This conclusion is supported by the fact that: (i) the Company does not control the board of directors of any of the Unconsolidated VIEs, and no voting or consent agreements exist between the Company and other members of each respective board of directors or other investors, (ii) the holders of preferred security interests in the Unconsolidated VIEs hold certain rights that require their consent prior to taking certain actions, which include certain significant operating and financing decisions, and (iii) the Company’s representation on the JSC of each respective entity does not give it control over the development activities of any of the Unconsolidated VIEs, as all JSC decisions are made by consensus and there are no agreements in place that would require any of the entities to vote in alignment with the Company. As the Company’s involvement in the Unconsolidated VIEs does not give it the power to control the decisions with respect to their development or other activities, which are their most significant activities, the Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the Unconsolidated VIEs. Additionally, the Company holds equity interests in certain privately-held companies that are not consolidated as the Company is not the primary beneficiary. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the maximum risk of loss related to the Company’s unconsolidated VIEs was limited to the carrying value of its investments in such entities. |

Exit of a Leased Facility In September 2023, Zymergen Inc. (“Zymergen”) ceased the use of and exited a leased facility consisting of approximately 300,000 square feet of office and laboratory space in Emeryville, California. The facility was used pursuant to an operating lease with a minimum term expiring in August 2033. Zymergen's ceasing to use the space resulted in an impairment loss of $96.2 million, including $36.6 million for the right-of-use asset and $59.6 million for the related leasehold improvements. The impairment loss represents the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceed their estimated fair values as of September 30, 2023, as determined using a discounted cash flow model under the income approach. The fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 fair value measurements. The key inputs used in the valuation were estimated sublease rental income and a discount rate of 8.5%. The impairments are presented as impairment of lease assets in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Purchase Obligations On August 29, 2023, the Company entered into a five-year strategic cloud and artificial intelligence (“AI”) partnership with Google Cloud, intended to enable the Company to develop and deploy AI tools for biology and biosecurity. The partnership includes minimum annual commitments to purchase cloud hosting services in exchange for various discounts on such services. The minimum annual commitments are as follows: year 1, $8.0 million; year 2, $28.0 million; year 3, $54.0 million; year 4, $86.0 million; and year 5, $113.0 million. The minimum commitments may be terminated by the Company upon payment of a cancellation fee representing a percentage of the remaining purchase commitment. The Company also entered into an agreement pursuant to which Google Cloud will provide up to $56.3 million in cash funding upon the Company’s achievement of certain milestones, which are expected over the next three years. The net service costs under the arrangement are recorded as research and development expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2023, the remaining aggregate commitment was $289.0 million. Contingent Consideration Related to Asset Acquisitions On April 5, 2023, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (“APA”) with StrideBio to acquire StrideBio's adeno-associated virus capsid discovery and engineering platform assets, with a secondary close contingent upon the transfer of certain additional in-license agreements to Ginkgo. The Company accounted for the transaction as an asset acquisition as substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset. The fair value of the consideration transferred totaled $4.0 million and consisted of 2.8 million shares of Ginkgo's Class A common stock valued at $3.6 million and a $0.4 million contingent holdback, all of which was expensed as in-process research and development during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. In October 2023, the Company completed the secondary closing for an additional purchase price of $3.8 million, which was paid by issuing 2.0 million shares of Class A common stock and remains subject to a $0.4 million contingent holdback. The APA, as amended, also provides for royalty payments of up to $21.3 million payable in cash or shares of Class A common stock at the Company's election until the earlier of the tenth anniversary date of the initial closing and the date on which the aggregate amount of the royalty payments equals the amount cap. The royalties are calculated based on 10% of the net licensing revenue and 40% of all consideration received for a license or sale of a product incorporating the acquired platform assets. No amounts for the royalty payments have been recorded during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Company routinely acquires rights to intellectual property that may provide for payment of future contingent consideration, including royalties, should revenue be generated from the use of such. Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Company may in the ordinary course of business be named as a defendant in lawsuits, indemnity claims and other legal proceedings. Except as described below, the Company does not believe any pending litigation to be material, or that the outcome of any such pending litigation, in management’s judgment based on information currently available, would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. On August 4, 2021, a putative securities class action was filed on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Zymergen, pursuant to or traceable to the registration statement for Zymergen’s initial public offering (“IPO”). The action is pending in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, and is captioned Wang v. Zymergen Inc., et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-06028-VC. The action alleges violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in connection with Zymergen’s IPO, names Zymergen, certain of its former officers and directors, and its IPO underwriters as defendants and seeks damages in an unspecified amount, attorneys’ fees, and other remedies. On October 5, 2023, a Suggestion of Bankruptcy of Defendant Zymergen Inc. was filed in this action. On November 9, 2021, one of Zymergen’s then purported shareholders filed a putative derivative lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California that is captioned Mellor v. Hoffman, et al., Case No. 3:21-cv-08723-VC. The complaint names certain of Zymergen’s former officers and directors as defendants and Zymergen as nominal defendant based on allegations substantially similar to those in the securities class action. The complaint purports to assert claims on Zymergen’s behalf for breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, corporate waste, and contribution under the federal securities laws and seeks corporate reforms, unspecified damages and restitution, and fees and costs. On October 5, 2023, a Suggestion of Bankruptcy of Defendant Zymergen Inc. was filed in this action. On or about February 7, 2023, a complaint was filed by Fortis Advisors LLC, solely in its capacity as Stockholders’ Representative for the holders of convertible promissory notes of Lodo Therapeutics Corporation (“Lodo”), against the Company's subsidiary, Zymergen, in Delaware Superior Court. The complaint purports to allege violations of California securities laws based on Zymergen’s exchange of its common stock for convertible promissory notes issued by Lodo in connection with Zymergen’s May 2021 acquisition of Lodo. The complaint seeks damages in an unspecified amount, attorneys’ fees, and other remedies. On October 5, 2023, a Suggestion of Bankruptcy of Defendant Zymergen Inc. was filed in this action. In addition, certain government agencies, including the SEC, have requested information related to Zymergen’s August 3, 2021 disclosure. Zymergen is cooperating fully. |

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s revenue from customers within the United States comprised 83% and 91%, respectively, of total revenue. Contract Balances The Company recognizes a contract asset when the Company transfers goods or services to a customer before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due, excluding any amounts presented as accounts receivable. The Company had no contract asset balances as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Contract liabilities, or deferred revenue, primarily consist of payments received in advance of performance under the contract or when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration under the terms of the contract before it transfers goods or services to the customer. The Company’s collaborative arrangements with its investees and related parties typically include upfront payments consisting of cash or non-cash consideration for future research and development services and non-cash consideration in the form of convertible financial instruments and equity securities for licenses that will be transferred in the future. The Company records the upfront cash payments and fair value of the convertible financial instruments and equity securities as deferred revenue. The Company also invoices customers based on contractual billing schedules, which results in the recording of deferred revenue to the extent payment is received prior to the Company’s performance of the related services. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as (or when) the Company performs under the contract. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $59.8 million of revenue that was included in the contract liabilities balance of $222.6 million as of December 31, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $37.3 million of revenue that was included in the contract liabilities balance of $189.2 million as of December 31, 2021. Performance Obligations The aggregate amount of the transaction price that was allocated to performance obligations that have not yet been satisfied or are partially satisfied as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $116.9 million and $123.5 million, respectively.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Significant Collaboration Transactions | Significant Collaboration Transactions BiomEdit, LLC In April 2022, the Company, along with one of its investors and third-party investors, including Elanco Animal Health Inc. (“Elanco”), launched BiomEdit, LLC (“BiomEdit”), a microbiome innovation company that intends to discover, design and develop novel probiotics, microbiome derived bioactives and engineered microbial medicines in the field of animal health. Concurrently with the launch, the Company entered into (i) an Intellectual Property Contribution Agreement (“BiomEdit IP Agreement”) that granted BiomEdit a license to certain of the Company’s intellectual property, (ii) a Technical Development Agreement (“BiomEdit TDA”) that establishes the terms under which the Company will provide technical research and development services, and (iii) a Common Unit Issuance Agreement (“BiomEdit CUIA”) which compensates the Company for its intellectual property contribution. Contemporaneous with these agreements, BiomEdit entered into a Series A Preferred Unit Purchase Agreement under which it sold 6.7 million Series A preferred units to one of the Company’s investors and a third-party investor, for aggregate proceeds of approximately $32.5 million. After the initial closing, BiomEdit may issue up to an additional 1.5 million Series A preferred units (the “Additional Units”) to one or more purchasers reasonably acceptable to the existing holders of Series A preferred units. In a subsequent closing during the first quarter of 2023, BiomEdit sold 0.8 million Additional Units for aggregate proceeds of $4.0 million and closed its Series A preferred unit financing. Under the BiomEdit IP Agreement, the Company licensed certain intellectual property to BiomEdit for use in the development or production of BiomEdit’s products that the parties will subsequently agree to research and develop under technical development plans (“TDP”). The license rights provide BiomEdit with the ability to commercialize the specified products from the corresponding TDP under the BiomEdit TDA. In return for the license to the intellectual property, BiomEdit issued the Company 3.9 million common units upon execution of the BiomEdit CUIA, with 0.7 million of those units subject to forfeiture in the event BiomEdit does not sell all of the Additional Units. Under the BiomEdit TDA, the parties jointly agree on TDPs, through equal representation on a joint steering committee, under which the Company will perform agreed-upon research and development services in return for consideration on a fixed fee or cost-plus basis for all services provided. Accounting Analysis The common unit investment in BiomEdit is considered an equity method investment as a result of the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence over BiomEdit’s financial and operating policies through its ownership of common units. The initial carrying value of the equity method investment in BiomEdit is the fair value of the nonforfeitable common units of $8.9 million received in exchange for the BiomEdit IP Agreement which, as discussed below, is being accounted for as non-cash consideration under ASC 606. The Company determined that the 0.7 million common units held by Ginkgo subject to forfeiture are considered variable consideration that is fully constrained at contract inception until the contingencies related to the issuance of the additional shares are resolved. Upon the closing of BiomEdit's Series A preferred unit financing in the first quarter of 2023, Ginkgo forfeited 0.3 million common units and retained 0.4 million common units for total consideration of $1.1 million. The fair value of BiomEdit’s common units was determined at inception of the agreements using the option pricing method. The option pricing method used a back-solve methodology to infer the total equity value based on the pricing of the Series A preferred unit financing, which was contemporaneous with the BiomEdit IP Agreement. The Series A preferred units issued by BiomEdit receive a liquidation preference prior to common units. As such, the Company concluded that this represents a substantive profit-sharing arrangement, and the Company is recognizing earnings and losses on the equity method investment using the HLBV method. The Company recorded a $1.5 million loss on its equity method investment in BiomEdit during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which reduced the carrying value of the equity method investment in BiomEdit to zero. There is no commitment for the Company to provide further financial support to BiomEdit, and therefore the carrying value of the equity method investment will not be reduced below zero. The relationship with BiomEdit is a vendor-customer relationship and is within the scope of ASC 606, as the provision of services and corresponding license rights are considered a part of the Company’s ordinary activities. The common units issued to the Company represent non-cash consideration. While the BiomEdit TDA has been executed by the parties and provides the payment terms for future services, the BiomEdit TDA does not provide for any transfer of goods or services between the parties. However, the Company will provide licenses and services upon execution of the contemplated TDPs. Accordingly, the Company concluded that the BiomEdit TDA, in combination with the BiomEdit CUIA, met the definition of a contract under ASC 606. Each TDP executed under the BiomEdit TDA will be accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. The Company’s performance obligations under the BiomEdit TDA consist of four material rights to future technical research and development services and commercial licenses under individual TDPs that the Company expects to execute. The material rights represent an advance payment for the license rights, which will be granted upon the execution of future TDPs. As there is no additional payment for these license rights when future TDPs are executed, the Company has determined that there is a material right associated with each of the contemplated TDPs under the BiomEdit TDA. The Company has allocated approximately $2.2 million of the upfront non-cash consideration to each of the four material rights based on the estimated standalone selling price of the performance obligations. During the first quarter of 2023, the additional $1.1 million of non-cash consideration, which represents previously constrained variable consideration, was allocated to each of the four performance obligations under the arrangement with BiomEdit of $0.3 million each consistent with the initial relative selling price allocation. Upon the execution of a TDP underlying a material right, the Company is obligated to provide technical research and development services under the TDP and a license to applicable patents and other intellectual property designed and developed under the TDP. The technical research and development services and license provided under a TDP are highly interdependent and interrelated with one another. Without the Company’s knowledge, expertise, and platform, there would not be a licensable strain or other commercializable product to transfer to BiomEdit. Further, BiomEdit has rights to intellectual property created as part of each TDP, irrespective of the result of the development. Therefore, each executed TDP underlying a material right consists of one combined performance obligation for the technical research and development services and license to be provided by the Company. For each TDP underlying a material right, the transaction price consists of (i) either a fixed fee or, if a cost-plus arrangement, variable consideration for the most likely amount of estimated consideration to be received and (ii) non-cash consideration allocated to the material rights. As the services performed by the Company under a TDP create or enhance an asset that BiomEdit controls as the asset is created or enhanced, the Company satisfies the performance obligation and recognizes revenue over time. The Company uses an input method that compares total costs incurred relative to total estimated cost to complete to estimate progress under the contract. Any revisions to the estimated total budgeted costs to complete, and the resulting impact on revenue recognition, are reflected in the period of the change through a cumulative catch-up adjustment. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company had a deferred revenue balance of $7.5 million and $8.1 million, respectively, with BiomEdit. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized revenue of $0.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively, from services provided to BiomEdit. |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
Subsequent Events | Subsequent Event On October 3, 2023, Zymergen and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Zymergen Bankruptcy”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (“Bankruptcy Court”). Neither the Company nor any of its other subsidiaries filed for bankruptcy protection, and the Company and its other subsidiaries will continue to operate their businesses as usual. Zymergen has been operated as a distinct legal entity, separate and apart from the Company, since it was acquired in October 2022. Shortly after its acquisition, the Company entered into an arms-length non-exclusive license with Zymergen with respect to Zymergen’s intellectual property, including its databases, automation, and software capabilities. The Zymergen Bankruptcy will not impact this non-exclusive license, and the Company’s rights under this license will not be affected. In connection with the Zymergen Bankruptcy, also on October 3, 2023, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Zymergen (the “Zymergen APA”) as the stalking horse bidder under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to acquire exclusive rights to substantially all of Zymergen’s intellectual property assets and certain other assets. The Company’s bid included a $5.0 million cash component and the potential assumption of a facility lease (currently included in the Company's consolidated financial statements) with a remaining minimum commitment of $37.4 million and a remaining lease term of approximately 9 years. The Company’s bid also included an undertaking by the Company to offer employment to 91 of Zymergen’s employees (provided such employees remain employed by Zymergen at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Zymergen APA) whereby the Company would assume any post-closing employment obligations and maintain salary and certain employee benefits levels for a one-year period. The bid is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court, and a process under which Zymergen may consider alternative bids. |

[1]The fair value of Private Placement Warrants classified as Level 2 is equivalent to that of Public Warrants as the transfer of Private Placement Warrants to anyone other than the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees results in the Private Placement Warrants having substantially the same terms as the Public Warrants.[2]The fair value of Synlogic, Inc. warrants is calculated as the quoted price of the underlying common stock, less the unpaid exercise price of the warrants.[3]Marketable equity securities classified as Level 2 reflect a discount for lack of marketability due to regulatory sales restrictions. |
