| 摘要 |
<p>The present invention consists of methods for joining DNA molecules (parts) together to form larger DNA molecules (assemblies) of specified sequence and organization. The invention exhibits three necessary characteristics. Firstly, the invention enables 2 or more parts to be joined in a single reaction. Secondly, the seam between joined parts is scarless, producing no residual sequence dependencies like restriction enzyme recognition sites. Thirdly, parts are modular and can easily be reused in novel assemblies without modification. Prior technologies have exhibited no more than two of the three necessary characteristics, limiting their utility in synthesizing and editing DNA molecules of arbitrary sequence.</p> |
