Cloning without RE
strategies
How can we simplify and make it amendable
to easy
cassette construction?
Use:
Assembly using overlap extension
In-vitro homologous recombination
(Gibson Assembly)
In-vivo homologous recombination
(Yeast Homologous Recombination)
Gene splicing by overlap Extension -
SOEing
Gene 1 Gene 2
PCR PCR
Requirements:
- Primers designed with
homologous region
- PCR amplification and
isolation
- Incubation of both
Mix, denature and anneal
constructs with end
primers
- PCR reaction
Extend
- Isolation of full
construct
