PCR, Clip, and Clone

by Karmella Haynes, 2015


Principle: The insert is PCR-amplified using an error-reducing, high-fidelity polymerase (Phusion) and primers that add restriction sites to each end of the insert. The PCR product is cleaned up using a DNA-binding column. A predetermined amount of clean DNA is cut at the ends (or "clipped") and the 5'phosphates are removed in a 20 μL-reaction. Enzymes are deactivated at 75°C and a small amount of the reaction is used directly as insert in a ligation.



Phusion PCR

  1. Amplify the insert(s) with primers that have the appropriate restriction sites on the ends. See Table 1 for recommended sequence extensions
  2. Set up a Phusion PCR reaction as shown in Table 2. Use the tamplate table to record your work in your notebook
Reagent Volume Expected:
1. Insert 1 = ### bp
2. Insert 2 = ### bp
3. etc.
