Gibson Assembly: Protocols
The formal paper in nature describing Gibson Assembly can be found [http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v6/n5/full/nmeth.1318.html 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 at the point of ligation.
- The standard way to do this is with PCR with specialised primers
- We have designed a tool to help you do this: [http://www.gibthon.org Gibthon]
Step 2: Order Primers
- This step can take a while, so Gibson Assembly requires some planning ahead
Step 3: PCR
- PCR is a dark art, but we have found that these general principles have served us well over the summer.
- 98°C 30s
| Step | Temp | Time |

Step 4: Gibson Assembly
- Prepare Master Mix
- Add DNA to be ligated and Master Mix in volumetric ratio 1:3
- Incubate for 1 hour at 50°C
e.g. If you were ligating two fragments (A and B) you could put:
| 2.5µl | fragment A |
| 2.5µl | fragment B |
| 15µl | Gibson Master Mix |
Step 5: Transformation
