METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND SOFTWARE FOR REGULATED OLIGONUCLEOTIDE-MEDIATED RECOMBINATION

摘要

The present invention provides novel in silico recombination techniques in which all or part of a nucleic acid recombination procedure is performed or modeled in a digital system. In particular, this invention relates to methods of designing oligonucleotides for regulated recombination that approximates linkage characteristics obtained from fragmentation-based recombination techniques, such as family-based recombination. The methods of this invention include adjusting overlap regions in pairs of overlapping oligonucleotide character strings to bias recombination towards a desired genetic linkage. This invention also provides systems, computer program products, and kits for practicing the methods of the invention.
