In vitro construction and long read sequencing analysis of a 24 kb long artificial DNA sequence encoding the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen
Abstract
Abstract In absence of DNA template, the ab initio production of long double-stranded DNA molecules of predefined sequences is particularly challenging. The DNA synthesis step remains a bottleneck for many applications such as functional assessment of ancestral genes, analysis of alternative splicing or DNA-based data storage. We propose in this report a fully in vitro protocol to generate very long double-stranded DNA molecule starting from commercially available short DNA blocks in less than 3 days. This innovative application of Golden Gate assembly allowed us to streamline the assembly process to produce a 24 kb long DNA molecule storing part of the Universal Declaration of Human rights and citizens. The DNA molecule produced can be readily cloned into suitable host/vector system for amplification and selection.
