Cloning
Cloning your gene can be one of the most difficult parts of an experiment. The first step is to decide which method will be most effective for inserting your gene precisely at the target locus.
PCR Cloning
PCR cloning is a fast and efficient method that doesn’t require restriction enzymes. These blogs tackle some of the biggest challenges, like designing the right insert and optimizing the reaction conditions.
