A Guide to Cloning the Products of Polymerase Chain Reactions

  1. Joseph Sambrook

Abstract

This introduction outlines various methods to clone amplified DNAs and to facilitate the construction of complex multicomponent genetic units. Because of the ease with which the termini of amplified DNAs can be tailored by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), many of the methods outlined here use PCR not only to synthesize DNAs but also to link them together into purpose-designed constructs. The most recent refinements however have been the development of modular genetic units that can be harnessed to target DNAs not by PCR but by site-specific recombination enzymes.
