Cloning
Successful cloning and subsequent protein expression requires the selection of the most suitable DNA Polymerase or 2x master-mix. The two most common PCR cloning methods are TA cloning and blunt-end cloning, and the choice depends on the downstream strategy, nature of the vector, and the PCR enzyme. While TA cloning typically employs a thermostable Taq DNA Polymerase, TA cloning with Taq does have limitations such as the size of the insert and the inherent error-rate of this DNA Polymerase. Alternatively, blunt-end cloning involves the ligation of an insert into a linearized vector where both DNA fragments lack overhangs. Blunt-end inserts can be produced using high-fidelity DNA Polymerases with 3′→5′ exonuclease or proofreading activity. This proofreading activity improves the sequence accuracy of the amplified products; however, limitations include lower ligation efficiencies. Azura Genomics offers a range of PCR enzymes and 2x master-mix options to suit the strategies and complexities of cloning.
