Overlap extension pcr cloning article pdf available in methods in molecular biology clifton, n. Colony pcr bacterial colonies are screened directly by pcr, for example, the screen for correct dna vector constructs. It involves an initial pcr with primers that have an overlap and a second pcr using the products as the template that generates the final fulllength product. Existing protocols of overlap extension pcr, however, are limited to regular short pcr, i. There are three major steps in a pcr, which are repeated for 30 or 40 cycles. Its principle is based on the use of dna polymerase which is an in vitro replication of specific dna sequences.
The practical utility of any cloning method is predicated upon its reliability, rather. Polymerase chain reaction is method for amplifying particular segments of dna. The temperature is then lowered to 5565oc to allow the primers to bind to your gene of interest. A rapid and efficient method for sitedirected mutagenesis using one. Polymerase chain reaction pcr was invented by mullis in 1983 and patented in 1985. The purpose of a pcr polymerase chain reaction is to make a huge number of copies of a gene. Overlap extension pcr cloning, described here, is not the first form of pcrmediated cloning 810. This method can generate tens of billions of copies of a particular dna fragment the sequence of interest, dna of interest, or target dna from a dna extract dna template. This is necessary to have enough starting template for sequencing.
The optimal temperature for the taq to operate is 72oc. The primary limitation of overlap extension pcr cloning.

Methods to streamline functional studies of large numbers of genes are.
The method, which we call long multiple fusion, has been used. About 12 to 34 volume of the overlap pcr reaction should be equimolar amounts of purified fragments. This technique may substitute for ligationbased assembly. Overlap extension pcr is a valuable technique that is commonly used for cloning large complex fragments, making edits to cloned genes or fusing two gene.
