Streamlined high-throughput cloning protocol to generate arrayed mutant libraries

Summary: Large-scale, site-directed mutagenesis enables rapid characterization of the biochemical and biological properties of proteins. Here, we present a cost-effective and adaptable cloning pipeline to generate arrayed gene libraries for a construct of interest. We detail steps to use an open acc...

Description
Summary:Summary: Large-scale, site-directed mutagenesis enables rapid characterization of the biochemical and biological properties of proteins. Here, we present a cost-effective and adaptable cloning pipeline to generate arrayed gene libraries for a construct of interest. We detail steps to use an open access web app to automate the design of mutagenesis primers optimized for our cloning protocols in a 96-well plate format. The protocol allows most molecular biology labs to clone 96 mutants (from PCR to sequence ready plasmid) in 3 days. : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics.
