SGI-DNA's Gibson Assembly Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit

SGI-DNA has launched the Gibson Assembly Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit which allows researchers to efficiently and accurately perform site-directed mutageneisis on DNA fragments. The Gibson Assembly method has become a mainstay in many synthetic biology laboratories and has attracted interest from both the academic and commercial life sciences community due to its ease of use, robustness, and flexibility, said SGI-DNA in a statement. Starting with a circular or a linear DNA template up to 25 kilobases in length, the kit enables researchers to introduce up to five site-directed mutations in a single round with efficiencies of 95 percent and 55 percent, respectively.
