  • Gibson Assembly Cloning Guide, Second Edition
    Gibson Assembly® CLONING GUIDE 2ND EDITION RESTRICTION DIGESTFREE, SEAMLESS CLONING Applications, tools, and protocols for the Gibson Assembly® method: • Single Insert • Multiple Inserts • Site-Directed Mutagenesis #DNAMYWAY sgidna.com/gibson-assembly Foreword Contents Foreword The Gibson Assembly method has been an integral part of our work at Synthetic Genomics, Inc. and the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI) for nearly a decade, enabling us to synthesize a complete bacterial genome in 2008, create the first synthetic cell in 2010, and generate a minimal bacterial genome in 2016. These studies form the framework for basic research in understanding the fundamental principles of cellular function and the precise function of essential genes. Additionally, synthetic cells can potentially be harnessed for commercial applications which could offer great benefits to society through the renewable and sustainable production of therapeutics, biofuels, and biobased textiles. In 2004, JCVI had embarked on a quest to synthesize genome-sized DNA and needed to develop the tools to make this possible. When I first learned that JCVI was attempting to create a synthetic cell, I truly understood the significance and reached out to Hamilton (Ham) Smith, who leads the Synthetic Biology Group at JCVI. I joined Ham’s team as a postdoctoral fellow and the development of Gibson Assembly began as I started investigating methods that would allow overlapping DNA fragments to be assembled toward the goal of generating genome- sized DNA. Over time, we had multiple methods in place for assembling DNA molecules by in vitro recombination, including the method that would later come to be known as Gibson Assembly.

  • Digestion of DNA with Restriction Endonucleases 3.1.2
    RESTRICTION ENDONUCLEASES SECTION I Digestion of DNA with Restriction UNIT 3.1 Endonucleases Restriction endonucleases recognize short DNA sequences and cleave double-stranded DNA at specific sites within or adjacent to the recognition sequences. Restriction endonuclease cleavage of DNA into discrete fragments is one of the most basic procedures in molecular biology. The first method presented in this unit is the cleavage of a single DNA sample with a single restriction endonuclease (see Basic Protocol). A number of common applications of this technique are also described. These include digesting a given DNA sample with more than one endonuclease (see Alternate Protocol 1), digesting multiple DNA samples with the same endonuclease (see Alternate Protocol 2), and partially digesting DNA such that cleavage only occurs at a subset of the restriction sites (see Alternate Protocol 3). A protocol for methylating specific DNA sequences and protecting them from restriction endonuclease cleavage is also presented (see Support Protocol). A collection of tables describing restriction endonucleases and their properties (including information about recognition sequences, types of termini produced, buffer conditions, and conditions for thermal inactivation) is given at the end of this unit (see Table 3.1.1, Table 3.1.2, Table 3.1.3, and Table 3.1.4). DIGESTING A SINGLE DNA SAMPLE WITH A SINGLE RESTRICTION BASIC ENDONUCLEASE PROTOCOL Restriction endonuclease cleavage is accomplished simply by incubating the enzyme(s) with the DNA in appropriate reaction conditions. The amounts of enzyme and DNA, the buffer and ionic concentrations, and the temperature and duration of the reaction will vary depending upon the specific application.

  • Easy Subcloning Prot
    Easy Subcloning by Michael Koelle Subcloning should be easy and fast, and work every time. The following protocols minimize the number of manipulations required to prepare DNA fragments for ligations, thereby both saving time and increasing reliability. Preparation of DNA fragments for ligation. 1. Restriction digests: Always cut a lot of your starting plasmids in a small volume; this will help in the gel purification of your restriction fragments by giving you a high concentration of DNA compared to agarose in your gel slice.. About 1 µg in a 20 µl reaction is good. For double digests: you almost never have to digest with one enzyme, adjust the buffer, and digest with the second. Look in the Biolabs catalogue to find a compromise buffer, and save yourself some time. Don't use just 1 unit of enzyme and wait an hour: your time is worth too much, and the enzymes are cheap and pure. Use about a 10-fold enzyme excess and digest about 30 min. 2. Playing with the ends. Blunting 5' overhangs: Add 1 µl 2 mM all four dNTPs to your 20 µl restriction digest. Add 0.5-1 µl Klenow (2-5 units), and incubate at room temp for 30 min. Blunting 3' overhangs: Add 1 µl 2 mM all four dNTPs to your 20 µl restriction digest. Add 0.5-1 µl T4 DNA polymerase, and incubate at 37° for 5 min. T4 polymerase has a more active 3' to 5' exo activity than Klenow, and so is preferred for this reaction, but Klenow will work.

    Isolating Microsatelline DNA Loci* Travis C. Glenn1,2 and Nancy A. Schable1,2 1Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, University of Georgia, Drawer E, Aiken, SC 29802, USA 2Department of Biological Sciences, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208, USA Contact: Travis Glenn: Phone 803-725-5746; Fax 803-725-3309; E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A series of techniques are presented to construct genomic DNA libraries highly enriched for microsatellite DNA loci. The individual techniques used here derive from several published protocols, but have been optimized and tested in our research labs as well as classroom settings at the University of South Carolina and University of Georgia, with students achieving nearly 100% success. Reducing the number of manipulations involved has been a key to success, decreasing both the failure rate and the time necessary to isolate loci of interest. These protocols have been successfully used in our lab to isolate microsatellite DNA loci from more than 125 species representing all eukaryotic kingdoms. Using these protocols, the total time to identify candidate loci for primer development from most eukaryotic species can be accomplished in as little as one week. *This information is based on (i.e., PLEASE CITE [using either style]): Glenn, T.C. and N.A.
