Optimizing Molecular Cloning of Multiple Plasmid
نویسندگان
چکیده
In biology, the construction of plasmids is a routine technique, yet under-optimal, expensive and time-consuming. In this paper, we model the Plasmid Cloning Problem (PCP) in constraint programing, in order to optimize the construction of plasmids. Our technique uses a new propagator for the AtMostNVector constraint. This constraint allows the design of strategies for constructing multiple plasmids at the same time. Our approach recommends the smallest number of different cloning steps, while selecting the most efficient steps. It provides optimal strategies for real instances in gene therapy for retinal blinding diseases.

Background: Molecular DNA markers are one of the most important tools in molecular biology labs. The size of DNA molecules is determined by comparing them with known bands of markers during gel electrophoresis. There are many different protocols to produce these kinds of molecular markers. In this study we have suggested an efficient strategy to produce molecular weight markers in industrial pr...
