Primer-Free Aptamer Selection Using A Random DNA Library

SELEX protocols comprise multiple rounds of selection, each of which require regeneration of bound ligands, which in turn require fixed primer sequences flanking the random library regions. These fixed primer sequences can interfere with the selection process (false positives and negatives). Here we present a primer-free protocol.

Combinatorial Gene Control

2020
Combinatorial gene control is the synergistic action of several transcriptional factors to regulate the expression of a single gene. The absence of one or more of these factors may lead to a significant difference in the level of gene expression or repression. The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...

Methods for generating large-scale gRNA libraries should be simple, efficient and cost-effective. We describe a protocol for the production of gRNA libraries based on enzymatic digestion of target DNA. This method, CORALINA (comprehensive gRNA library generation through controlled nuclease activity) presents an alternative to costly custom oligonucleotide synthesis.

Split-and-pool Synthesis and Characterization of Peptide Tertiary Amide Library

Cited by 5 •
2014
Peptide tertiary amides (PTAs) are a superfamily of peptidomimetics that include but are not limited to peptides, peptoids and N-methylated peptides. Here we describe a synthetic method which combines both split-and-pool and sub-monomer strategies to synthesize a one-bead one-compound library of PTAs.
FAQs
Diversity is created by combining selected sequence elements or introducing controlled mutations into nucleotide sequences. These strategies allow researchers to vary defined parts of a design rather than test unrelated constructs without a planned structure. The resulting collection supports systematic comparisons among variants and helps connect particular sequence changes with differences in biological function.
A measurable function provides the basis for comparing variants and identifying which sequences perform better in a selected context. Expression, screening, sequencing, or selection can supply that functional information. This sequence-to-function link turns a large set of genetic possibilities into evidence that guides the identification of improved biomolecules or genetic designs.
Controlled mutations introduce planned sequence changes across a library, allowing researchers to examine how variation affects performance. Because the mutations are deliberately incorporated, the resulting comparisons can focus on the relationship between sequence and function. This approach is particularly useful when optimizing biological components or exploring alternative genetic designs in bioengineering.
Vectors provide the context in which library variants can be cloned and used for downstream analysis. Once inserted, the variants may be subjected to expression, screening, sequencing, or selection, depending on the research goal. This step connects engineered nucleotide sequences to experimental readouts and makes their functional differences accessible for comparison.
Researchers first select sequence elements to combine or define mutations to introduce. They then generate the resulting variants and clone them into vectors. The library can subsequently undergo expression, screening, sequencing, or selection, producing information that helps identify useful sequence-function relationships and guides decisions about which variants or designs merit further study.
Applications include protein engineering, directed evolution, promoter optimization, regulatory-element optimization, and development of synthetic biological circuits. In each case, the library provides multiple sequence variants for functional testing. The approach can therefore support both improvement of biomolecules and refinement of genetic designs used to construct or study engineered biological systems.
By allowing many genetic variants to be tested as a collection, these libraries expand the number of sequence designs that can be evaluated during an experiment. Functional results can reveal improved biomolecules or genetic configurations while also clarifying sequence-function relationships. This combination accelerates the study and engineering of biological systems, including synthetic circuits and regulatory designs.
