Gibson Assembly
Overview
The Gibson Assembly method allows you to assemble multiple DNA parts in just 2 steps.
In the first step, 20 basepair overlaps are added to the sequences to be assembled. In the example below, I am assembling two proteins joined by a 60 basepair linker:
In the second step, the PCR products are added to the Gibson Assembly Mix:
Materials
Designing primers:
PCR mix
15ul of Gibson Assembly Mix
(I will add the recipe soon, but for now, find 15ul aliquotes in PCR tubes in a clearly labeled bag in the -20C freezer door... soonish)
Procedure
- In a PCR tube, mix the components on ice in the order they are listed above.
- Perform thermocycling program
