Long single strand DNA (ssDNA) preparation kit – for effective knock-in by genome editing!
The Long ssDNA Preparation Kits (LssDNA Preparation Kits) provide a simple and easy method for generating a long ssDNA (<1,500 base or< 3,000 base). A long ssDNA prepared by this kit has a defined sequence and length as it does not include internal mutation and terminal deletion caused by PCR, exonuclease side reaction, low-fidelity reverse transcriptase reaction or low-fidelity synthetic oligonucleotides.
The procedure is almost the same as the method to obtain dsDNA fragments. The DNA of interest is cloned into a plasmid. The resulting plasmid harbouring the DNA is digested by a pair of two nicking endonucleases or a combination of a nicking endonuclease and a restriction enzyme. The nicked plasmid is denatured by Denaturing Gel-Loading Buffer and then subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis. The band corresponding to a long ssDNA is excised and extracted with our newly developed extraction kits.
Features

Principle

(1) The DNA of interest is cloned into a plasmid using a pair of two nicking endonuclease sites or a combination of a nicking endonuclease site and a restriction enzyme site. (2) The resulting plasmid harbouring the DNA is digested with a pair of two nicking endonucleases or a combination of a nicking endonuclease and a restriction enzyme. (3) The nicked plasmid is denatured and then subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis. (4) The band corresponding to a long ssDNA is excised and extracted.
