Filed:

Jan 8, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/684874

Inventors:

Zach Serber - Emeryville CA, US
Raymond Lowe - Emeryville CA, US
Jeffrey A. Ubersax - Emeryville CA, US

Assignee:

Amyris, Inc. - Emeryville CA

International Classification:

C12Q 1/68

US Classification:

435 612, 435 912, 435483, 536 231

Abstract:

The present invention provides compositions and methods for rapid assembly of one or more assembled polynucleotides from a plurality of component polynucleotides. The methods of the invention utilize circular nucleic acid vectors that comprise a DNA segment D flanked by an annealable linker sequence, annealable linker sequence pairs LA and LB, or annealable linker sequence/primer binding segment pairs LA and PB or PA and LB. Restriction endonuclease digestion of a plurality of vectors containing the DNA segments to be assembled generates a plurality of DNA fragments comprising the elements PA-D-LB, LA-D-LB, and LA-D-PB or D-LB, LA-D-LB, and LA-D. The sequences of annealable linker sequences LA and LB provide complementary termini to the DNA fragments, which are utilized in host cell mediated homologous recombination or together with primer binding segments PA and PB in a polymerase cycling assembly reaction for the ordered assembly of the various DNA segments into one or more assembled polynucleotides.
