What is in Fusion cloning?

In‑Fusion Cloning is a highly efficient, ligation-independent cloning method, based on the annealing of complementary ends of a cloning insert and linearized cloning vector. This technology ensures easy, single-step directional cloning of any gene of interest into any vector at any locus.

What are the benefits of in Fusion cloning over traditional cloning approaches?

The efficiency of In-Fusion Cloning kits is over 95%, and just one quick reaction allows you to recover your final construct. This versatile system easily outpaces any traditional cloning method, including ligation and TA cloning.

Is PCR a cloning vector?

T-vector cloning, or TA cloning, is a convenient method for cloning PCR products generated with Taq DNA Polymerase. The pGEM®-T vectors are a popular choice for general PCR cloning.

How do you create a PCR protocol?

A standard polymerase chain reaction (PCR) setup consists of four steps:

1. Add required reagents or mastermix and template to PCR tubes.
2. Mix and centrifuge.
3. Amplify per thermo cycler and primer parameters.
4. Evaluate amplified DNA by agarose gel electrophoresis followed by ethidium bromide staining.

How does traditional cloning work?

Traditional Cloning usually refers to the use of restriction endonucleases to generate DNA fragments with specific complementary end sequences that can be joined together with a DNA ligase, prior to transformation.

What is fusion PCR?

Overlap extension or fusion PCR is thought to be a simple and easy method to produce fusion DNA fragments without the need for restriction enzyme digestion and DNA ligation. We describe how these overlap sequences can be used for fusion DNA construction, in-frame gene fusion, and cloning in yeast.

How does topoisomerase work in cloning?

The key to TOPO cloning is the enzyme DNA topoisomerase I, which functions both as a restriction enzyme and as a ligase. Its biological role is to cleave and rejoin DNA during replication. The enzyme then relegates the ends of the cleaved strand and releases itself from the DNA.

Is PCR used in cloning?

PCR cloning is a rapid method for cloning genes, and is often used for projects that require higher throughput than traditional cloning methods can accommodate. It allows for the cloning of DNA fragments that are not available in large amounts. Early PCR cloning often used Taq DNA Polymerase to amplify the gene.

What is a PCR cloning vector?

PCR cloning is a method in which double-stranded DNA fragments amplified by PCR are ligated directly into a vector.

How is the in fusion PCR cloning kit?

In general, the In-Fusion reaction consists of a simple 30 minute incubation of the PCR product with the linearized cloning vector, followed by transformation into E. coli(Figure 1). Each reaction generates precise constructs with correctly oriented inserts and no additional nucleotides. The procedure is quite simple, so it is easily automated.

What is the cloning enhancer in in ‑ fusion snap?

Cloning Enhancer, or CE, is a proprietary enzyme mix for removing background plasmid DNA and PCR residue, thus eliminating the need for additional purification of PCR-amplified DNA prior to the In‑Fusion reaction (see details in the In‑Fusion Snap Assembly User Manual ). CE is available as a separate item.

What are the benefits of in fusion cloning?

In-Fusion Cloning. The In-Fusion Cloning products allow ligation-independent cloning of PCR products into any vector, at any site of linearization. The In-Fusion Cloning reaction, which takes as little as 15 minutes, is specific and directional, ensuring an exceptionally high rate of cloning accuracy in all applications.

What kind of overlap is needed for in fusion cloning?

Homologous overlaps are necessary for In‑Fusion Cloning. Appropriate homology consists of a 15-nt DNA sequence complementary to the 5′ end of a linearized cloning vector or cloning insert.
