Computer-Aided Planning for the Verification of Large Batches of DNA Constructs

Restriction digest analysis and Sanger sequencing are among the most commonly used techniques to check the sequence of synthetic DNA constructs. However, both require careful preparation to select restriction enzymes or DNA primers adapted to the expected constructs sequences. In projects involving manufacturing of large batches of synthetic constructs, the task can be tedious and error-prone. This chapter demonstrates the use of two free and open-source web applications providing fast and automated selection of enzymes and sequencing primers for DNA construct verification.
