DNA Cloning Tips—Build Clones with DNA Fragments using GeneArt Gibson Assembly Cloning kits
Building large DNA constructs that contain no extraneous sequences is often a challenging task. One of the key engineering tools designed to help in constructing these large constructs is Gibson Assembly cloning.
Benefits of GeneArt Gibson Assembly Cloning technology
GeneArt Gibson assembly EX kits are ideal for assembling multiple inserts.
Figure 1. GeneArt Gibson Assembly EX Cloning kits provide high transformation efficiency options when using larger numbers of inserts. Assembly of 6, 8 and 10 fragments of 0.5kb in pcDNA 3.4 transformed in Invitrogen TOP10 Competent Cells.
GeneArt Gibson Assembly HiFi kits offers a very cost effective and efficient way of assembling smaller numbers of fragments. For larger assemblies the GeneArt Gibson EX Master Mixes and Kits are available.
Figure 2. GeneArt Gibson Assembly HiFi kits provide high cloning efficiency using a single insert to multiple insert designs. Assembly of 1, 2 and 4 - 1kb fragments in pCDNA 3.4 using TOP10 competent cells. GeneArt Gibson Assembly HiFi kits are the most cost-effective method and time-saving method for building large assemblies, particularly when used with GeneArt Strings DNA Fragments or 100% sequenced, GeneArt Gene Synthesis.
Both GeneArt Gibson Assembly HiFi and EX technologies are available in master mix formats, complete kits and with a choice of chemically competent and electrocompetent cells which both offer high transformation efficiencies.

GeneArt Gibson Assembly technology relies on homologous recombination to assemble adjacent DNA fragments sharing end-terminal homology. The optimal length of the homologous fragment ends region depends on the number and length of the fragments in the assembly reaction. The following table lists the suggested length of the end-terminal homology.
| Number of fragments | Fragment size | Length of overlap regions |
|---|---|---|
| 1-2 | ≤ 8 kb | 20–40 bp |
| 8–32 kb | 25–40 bp | |
| 3-5 | ≤ 8 kb | 40 bp |
| 8–32 kb | 40–100 bp | |
| 6+ | 100 bp to 100 kb | 50–100bp |
