Gibson assembly

Back to protocols.

Take the different DNA parts you want to assemble and measure their concentration with Nanodrop
We need equal molecuar ratios! Divide the concentration measured above [ng/ul] by the length of each part to have equivalent numbers
Based on these numbers, calculate the ul you need of each to have the same amount of molecules
Take 5 ul of the mixed solution and add 15 ul of Gibson mastermix
Heat at 55°C for 45 minutes (there is a programm written in the iGEM folder)
Purify with Qiagen PCR purification kit

Now the samples are ready to be transformed.

PS: if someone has a less complicated method, please change the protocol :)
