Protocol adapted from Nikolaus Obholzer (https://wiki.med.harvard.edu/SysBio/Megason/IsothermalAssembly)

  • 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 :)
