CAPRRESI:通过质粒恢复和限制酶位点插入的嵌合体装配

Overview

This article presents the Chimera Assembly by Plasmid Recovery and Restriction Enzyme Site Insertion (CAPRRESI) protocol, a method for fusing protein-coding genes. CAPRRESI allows for the rapid and cost-effective generation of chimeric genes through the insertion of restriction enzyme sites into synonymous DNA sequences.

Key Study Components
