synthetic library construction
BaseClear can create a synthetic DNA library to optimise a gene sequence with a view to improving enzymatic activity.
A synthetic DNA library can be used to optimise the activity of a gene. A synthetic gene library is synthesised with variations at one or more positions. The variants are cloned into standard or custom vectors and transformed into suitable host bacteria. Customers can then screen the resulting library with activity assays to find the optimal gene sequence.
Several options:
- Site Mutated Libraries: One or more specified mutations at a specific location.
- Site Saturated libraries: One location mutated in all possible variants.
- Combinatorial Libraries: Several locations mutated in one or more (or all) possible variants.
Automatic colony picking
We have fully automated systems for the isolation and quantification of DNA from various sources.
After cloning and transformation into E. coli, the colonies can be picked up by our automatic colony picking equipment and transferred into microtiter plates. This allows for fast automatic screening of the libraries. In combination with our in-house equipment for sequencing and gene synthesis, this results in short time lines and high quality libraries.
