Gibson DNA assembly

Background

This is a one-step isothermal method for assembling overlapping DNA fragments. Please see Enzymatic assembly of DNA molecules up to several hundred kilobases, Gibson et al. (2009).

PCR product purification

PCR products that came from a plasmid template need to be purified on a 1% agarose TAE gel (adjust the gel and well size to accommodate the entire PCR (Phusion) reaction. This procedure is generally a good idea to reduce unwanted assemblies from minor aberrant PCR products. The Qiagen MiniElute gel extraction kits have been successful for this purpose as the final volume/concentration is approximately right for the assembly protocol.

One step isothermal Assembly

For ~6 kb fragments, use 10-100 ng DNA of each DNA in 5 ul final volume. Scale accordingly for fragment sizes (molar ratios).

  1. On ice, add 5 ul DNA to 15 ul thawed 1.33X Master Mix
  2. Incubate at 50°C for 60 minutes


Transformation of E. coli may be done with 5-20 ul of the assembly mix depending upon the cells and method of transformation.
