GeneArt Seamless Cloning & Gibson Assembly®

Tools for assembling multiple DNA Fragments to build large and seamless clones

GeneArt Seamless Cloning and GeneArt Gibson Assembly Kits allow for the simultaneous assembly of up to 15 DNA fragments to create precise, very large constructs with no unwanted sequences in highly efficient reactions. These cloning methods circumvent the need for multiple rounds of restriction enzyme analysis and digestion, DNA end-repair, de-phosphorylation, ligation, enzyme inactivation and clean-up, and loss of precious DNA saving 3-4 weeks versus traditional RE cloning methods.
