• Specialised cloning tools ensure fast accurate construct design for all major molecular cloning techniques

Restriction Cloning
Restriction cloning is a common cloning technique where restriction enzymes are used to prepare an insert and a vector for ligation.

Gateway® Cloning
Plasmids can be constructed without restriction enzymes using Gateway cloning, which inserts DNA fragments by recombination. SnapGene simulates different variations of this method.
For standard Gateway cloning, a DNA fragment is inserted into a Donor Vector in a BP cloning reaction, creating an Entry Vector. Then the fragment is transferred to a Destination Vector in an LR cloning reaction, creating the final Expression Vector. Multisite Gateway cloning allows up to four fragments to be inserted simultaneously.

Gibson Assembly®
Gibson Assembly is a popular way to insert fragments into a plasmid without using restriction enzymes. To simulate this method, SnapGene provides an intuitive interface.
For Gibson Assembly, PCR amplify the DNA segments to create overlapping ends. Then incubate the amplified products with assembly enzymes, and transform the mixture into bacteria.

In-Fusion® Cloning
Clontech’s In-Fusion cloning is a remarkably versatile method for creating seamless gene fusions. SnapGene was the first software to simulate this procedure.
For the In-Fusion reaction, a linearized vector is mixed with one or more PCR products that have overlapping ends.

TA and GC Cloning
TA cloning is used to clone PCR products. It takes advantage of the 3′ A overhangs added during amplification by Taq and some other polymerases. These sticky ends enable insertion into a linearized vector with complementary 3′ T overhangs. GC cloning is similar, and is based on the finding that Taq actually adds a mixture of 3′ A and 3′ G overhangs.

TOPO® Cloning
• PCR products can be cloned at high efficiency using TOPO® cloning, which is performed with linearized vectors that have vaccinia virus topoisomerase I covalently bound to the 3’ phosphates. SnapGene simulates three different variations of this method.
• TOPO® TA cloning employs linearized vectors such as pcDNA™3.4 TOPO® to clone PCR products with 3’-A overhangs. These PCR products are typically generated with Taq polymerase.
• Blunt TOPO® cloning employs linearized vectors such as pCR®-Blunt II-TOPO® to clone PCR products with blunt overhangs. These PCR products are typically generated with high-fidelity polymerases.
• Directional TOPO® cloning employs linearized vectors such as pET200/D-TOPO® to clone PCR products in a directional manner.

NEBuilder HiFi Assembly
NEBuilder HiFi DNA Assembly enables virtually error-free joining of DNA fragments, even those with 5´- and 3´-end mismatches without using restriction enzymes.
