Abstract

The ability to enzymatically assemble DNA oligonucleotides into longer DNA duplexes in a process known as gene synthesis has wide-ranging applications in the fields of genetic engineering and synthetic biology. Thermodynamically balanced inside-out (TBIO) gene synthesis is one of several PCR-based primer extension genesynthesis protocols that have been developed. In TBIO gene synthesis, overlapping primers with equivalent melting temperatures (Tms) are designed so that the 5' half of the DNA is encoded by sense primers and the 3' half of the DNA molecule is encoded by antisense primers. Primer extension is initiated at the center of the DNA and continues bidirectionally to progressively elongate the DNA molecule. Here we provide the protocols necessary for performing TBIO gene synthesis to generate a DNA molecule of interest.
