Aliquoted reaction and master mixes are stable at -20C and can withstand several freeze thaw cycles.
Protocol 1. PCR vector and insert(s) ensuring that at least 40 bp homology exists between adjacent fragments 2. Thaw assembly master mix and keep on ice until ready to be used 3. Mix 15 ul of assembly mixture with 5 ul total of cleaned PCR product (PCR Cleanup Kit or Gel Extraction) keeping DNA inserts in equimolar amounts 4. Incubate at 50 C for 15-60 min (60 min optimal). 5. Transform cells with no more than 1 ul of assembly mixture.
