Abstract

Golden Gate cloning allows rapid and reliable assembly of multiple DNA fragments in a defined orientation. Golden Gate cloning requires careful design of the restriction fragment overhangs to minimize undesired products and to generate the desired junctions. The ApE (A plasmid Editor) software package can assist in silico design of input fragments or to generate expected assembly products.
