The Gibson Assembly® Method Overview

The Gibson Assembly method is an efficient and robust cloning procedure that allows the seamless joining of two or more fragments without the need for restriction enzyme digestion or compatible restriction sites. Through a series of enzymatic steps, overlapping regions are created, annealed, and ligated over the course of an hour, resulting in a final covalently-joined, double-stranded DNA construct.

Why scientists prefer the Gibson Assembly® method

SGI-DNA offers several Gibson Assembly cloning kits for DNA assembly.

Each kit contains specific master mix reagents and proof-reading polymerase.
