  • Method of dual-adapter recombination for efficient concatenation of multiple DNA fragments in shuffled or specified arrangements
    Patent number: 9689012
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of assembling a plurality of genetic units to form synthetic genetic constructs. This method involves appending universal adapter oligonucleotides and flexible adapter oligonucleotides to the 5? and 3? ends of separate genetic units to be assembled to form separate dual extended genetic units. The dual extended genetic units are assembled together via homologous recombination between the flexible adapter oligonucleotide portions of the dual extended units to form synthetic genetic constructs. The present invention further relates to synthetic genetic constructs formed using the methods of the present invention, and vectors, cells, and organisms containing such synthetic genetic constructs.
