Cross index for improving cloning selectivity by partially filling in 5'-extensions of DNA produced by type II restriction endonucleases.
نویسنده
چکیده
A cross index is presented for using the improved selectivity offered by the Hung and Wensink (Nucl. Acids Res. 12, 1863-1874, 1984) method of partially filling in 5'-extensions produced by type II restriction endonucleases. After this treatment, DNA fragments which normally cannot be ligated to one another, can be joined providing that complementary cohesive ends have been generated. The uses of this technique, which include the prevention of DNA fragments (both vector and insert) auto-annealing, are discussed.

Directional cloning of DNA fragments using deoxyinosine-containing oligonucleotides and endonuclease V
BACKGROUND DNA fragments carrying internal recognition sites for the restriction endonucleases intended for cloning into a target plasmid pose a challenge for conventional cloning. RESULTS A method for directional insertion of DNA fragments into plasmid vectors has been developed. The target sequence is amplified from a template DNA sample by PCR using two oligonucleotides each containing a s...
متن کاملCloning of random-sequence oligodeoxynucleotides.
Methods are described for cloning random or highly degenerate nucleotide (nt) sequences. The procedures use synthetically derived mixtures of oligodeoxynucleotides (oligos) whose heterogeneous central portions are bounded at their 5' and 3' ends by sequences recognized by restriction endonucleases. Oligo collections of defined length and nt composition are synthesized by utilizing appropriate c...
متن کاملType II restriction endonucleases — a historical perspective and more
This article continues the series of Surveys and Summaries on restriction endonucleases (REases) begun this year in Nucleic Acids Research. Here we discuss 'Type II' REases, the kind used for DNA analysis and cloning. We focus on their biochemistry: what they are, what they do, and how they do it. Type II REases are produced by prokaryotes to combat bacteriophages. With extreme accuracy, each r...
متن کاملMolecular indexing of human genomic DNA.
Molecular indexing sorts DNA fragments into subsets for inter-sample comparisons. Type IIS or interrupted palindrome restriction endonucleases, which result in single-stranded ends not including the original recognition sequence of the enzyme, are used to produce the fragments. The ends can then be any sequence but will always be specific for a given fragment. Fragments with particular ends are...
متن کاملUSER™ friendly DNA engineering and cloning method by uracil excision
Here we report a PCR-based DNA engineering technique for seamless assembly of recombinant molecules from multiple components. We create cloning vector and target molecules flanked with compatible single-stranded (ss) extensions. The vector contains a cassette with two inversely oriented nicking endonuclease sites separated by restriction endonuclease site(s). The spacer sequences between the ni...
