Overview
Short to medium length (up to 120 bp) fragments of dsDNA can be generated directly from two complementary single-stranded oligonucleotides. Custom overhangs for ligation or In-Fusion can be introduced as well, simply by having some non-complementary ends. The two single-stranded Oligos then need to be annealed into a double-stranded fragment.

- Web protocol
The idea is to heat up the mixture to close to 100 C and let it slowly cool down to room temperature over the course of one hour.
Materials
- Thermocycler
- 10x annealing buffer, final (1x) concentration: 10mM Tris-HCl, 50mM NaCl
- closest match is NEB Buffer 2 (1x: 10mM TrisHCl, 50mM NaCl, 10mM MgCl2, 1mM DTT)
Procedure
- mix:
- 21 µl sterile ddH20
- 3 µl sense oligo
- 3 µl antisense oligo
- 3 µl NEB buffer 2 (10x)
- incubate on thermocycler
- 2 min @ 98 C
- 60 cycles:
- 1 min, decreasing temperature by 1.3 C per cycle
- cool to 4 C
