Abstract:
We describe the application of simple cloning by prolonged overlap extension for multiple site-directed mutagenesis in the same plasmid. We show that it is possible to use this technique with very short PCR templates. The technique is ideally suited for the generation of longer donor DNA sequences for CRISPR/Cas9-mediated homologous repair.

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation
6.5K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.

Translesion DNA Polymerases
10.9K
Translesion (TLS) polymerases rescue stalled DNA polymerases at sites of damaged bases by replacing the replicative polymerase and installing a nucleotide across the damaged site. Doing so, TLS allows additional time for the cell to repair the damage before resuming regular DNA replication.
TLS polymerases are found in all three domains of life - archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. Of the different classes of TLS polymerases, members of the Y family are fitted with specialized structures that...
