Gibson Assembly: Protocols
The formal paper in nature describing Gibson Assembly can be found here.
Step 1) Design Primers
- If you wish to ligate two pieces of DNA using Gibson they must be altered so as to have 40bp of overlap with respect to each other.
//Insert diagram of two pieces of DNA with overlap
- The standard way to do this is with PCR with specialised primers
- We have designed a tool to help you do this: Gibthon
Step 2) Order Primers
- This step can take a while, so Gibson Assembly requires some planning ahead
Step 3) PCR
Step 4) Gibson Assembly
