Method For Rna-Guided Endonuclease-Based Dna Assembly

View page
US Patent:
20180105806, Apr 19, 2018
Filed:
Sep 6, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/696246
Inventors:
- Cambridge MA, US
Alec Andrew Nielsen - Cambridge MA, US
Assignee:
Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Cambridge MA
International Classification:
C12N 15/10
C12N 15/11
C12N 9/22
C12N 9/00
C12N 9/12
Abstract:
The invention provides a novel approach to facilitate assembly of DNA molecules. This approach utilizes RNA-guided endonucleases, capable of targeting any DNA sequence, which cleave DNA and generate DNA fragments characterized by single stranded overhangs. After annealing of complementary overhangs, DNA fragments are covalently connected, generating a single DNA molecule. In this way, the present invention combines the reliability of classic restriction-ligation techniques, removes all sequence constraints from the desired final DNA molecule, and expands the number of DNA pieces that can be assembled at once.
