Abstract

Polymerase-mediated recombination based on DNA polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) has been used to carry out directed joining at a present point of two DNA fragments initially contained in a plasmid and a single-stranded synthetic DNA. The process includes copying of these fragments by PCR with generation of an overlapping homologous region. Such overlap of 12 base pairs in length was found to be sufficient to provide further DNA joining also by use of PCR.
