published the method in Nature Methods, 2009. The technique was presented to create exceptionally large molecular clones <i>in vitro</i>. Since its inception, Gibson assembly has proven to be a robust technique that, with slight modification, is suited for combining both long and short fragments.</p><p class="post-element__paragraph">Similar to other advanced cloning techniques, Gibson assembly is based on assembling overlapping PCR products. </p><p class="post-element__paragraph">Following the trend developing in more recent technologies, multiple enzyme activities are designed to work together <i>in vitro</i>. In Gibson assembly, the active enzymes are T5 exonuclease, Phusion polymerase and Taq ligase.</p><div class="image-caption image-caption--block post-element__image"><picture class="picture"><source media="(max-width: 428px)" srcSet="https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/335ryMAcAhlQ3hWk2mgvqP/393375cfa540638d855d557534a7e896/Gibson_Assembly_diagram.png?w=408 1x, https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/335ryMAcAhlQ3hWk2mgvqP/393375cfa540638d855d557534a7e896/Gibson_Assembly_diagram.png?w=816 2x"/><source media="(min-width: 429px) and (max-width: 639px)" srcSet="https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/335ryMAcAhlQ3hWk2mgvqP/393375cfa540638d855d557534a7e896/Gibson_Assembly_diagram.png?w=619 1x, https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/335ryMAcAhlQ3hWk2mgvqP/393375cfa540638d855d557534a7e896/Gibson_Assembly_diagram.png?w=1238 2x"/><source media="(min-width: 640px) and (max-width: 767px)" srcSet="https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/335ryMAcAhlQ3hWk2mgvqP/393375cfa540638d855d557534a7e896/Gibson_Assembly_diagram.png?w=482 1x, https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/335ryMAcAhlQ3hWk2mgvqP/393375cfa540638d855d557534a7e896/Gibson_Assembly_diagram.png?w=964 2x"/><source media="(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)" srcSet="https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/335ryMAcAhlQ3hWk2mgvqP/393375cfa540638d855d557534a7e896/Gibson_Assembly_diagram.png?w=652 1x, https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/335ryMAcAhlQ3hWk2mgvqP/393375cfa540638d855d557534a7e896/Gibson_Assembly_diagram.png?w=1304 2x"/><source media="(min-width: 1025px)" srcSet="https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/335ryMAcAhlQ3hWk2mgvqP/393375cfa540638d855d557534a7e896/Gibson_Assembly_diagram.png?w=770 1x, https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/335ryMAcAhlQ3hWk2mgvqP/393375cfa540638d855d557534a7e896/Gibson_Assembly_diagram.png?w=1540 2x"/><img class="image" alt="" loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="//images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/335ryMAcAhlQ3hWk2mgvqP/393375cfa540638d855d557534a7e896/Gibson_Assembly_diagram.png"/></picture><span class="image-caption__text">Gibson assembly cloning technique</span></div><p class="post-element__paragraph">These enzymes work together to fuse overlapping DNA fragments.</p><p class="post-element__paragraph">T5 exonuclease chews back the 5’ end of double-stranded DNA to expose engineered overlaps. Polymerase begins filling in at the overhangs preventing excessive enzyme chewing. When stable compatible overhangs anneal, ligase completes the fusion of the DNA fragments. Once ligated, the DNA is protected from the exonuclease.</p><p class="post-element__paragraph">The reaction is designed to occur at 50°C, with all enzymes selected for their stability and activity at this temperature. </p><p class="post-element__paragraph">The classic Gibson Assembly reaction can result in errors at fragment junctions and does not work with single-stranded fragments or short fragments.

This is particularly applicable when linearizing the vector with restriction enzymes.</p><div class="image-caption image-caption--block post-element__image"><picture class="picture"><source media="(max-width: 428px)" srcSet="https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/3Oz7dr1i5VEiGsByJxaXtb/6c9b05803b2daa9f24e6b9a9b563485c/Length_of_Tails-Gibson_Assembly.png?w=408 1x, https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/3Oz7dr1i5VEiGsByJxaXtb/6c9b05803b2daa9f24e6b9a9b563485c/Length_of_Tails-Gibson_Assembly.png?w=816 2x"/><source media="(min-width: 429px) and (max-width: 639px)" srcSet="https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/3Oz7dr1i5VEiGsByJxaXtb/6c9b05803b2daa9f24e6b9a9b563485c/Length_of_Tails-Gibson_Assembly.png?w=619 1x, https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/3Oz7dr1i5VEiGsByJxaXtb/6c9b05803b2daa9f24e6b9a9b563485c/Length_of_Tails-Gibson_Assembly.png?w=1238 2x"/><source media="(min-width: 640px) and (max-width: 767px)" srcSet="https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/3Oz7dr1i5VEiGsByJxaXtb/6c9b05803b2daa9f24e6b9a9b563485c/Length_of_Tails-Gibson_Assembly.png?w=482 1x, https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/3Oz7dr1i5VEiGsByJxaXtb/6c9b05803b2daa9f24e6b9a9b563485c/Length_of_Tails-Gibson_Assembly.png?w=964 2x"/><source media="(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)" srcSet="https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/3Oz7dr1i5VEiGsByJxaXtb/6c9b05803b2daa9f24e6b9a9b563485c/Length_of_Tails-Gibson_Assembly.png?w=652 1x, https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/3Oz7dr1i5VEiGsByJxaXtb/6c9b05803b2daa9f24e6b9a9b563485c/Length_of_Tails-Gibson_Assembly.png?w=1304 2x"/><source media="(min-width: 1025px)" srcSet="https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/3Oz7dr1i5VEiGsByJxaXtb/6c9b05803b2daa9f24e6b9a9b563485c/Length_of_Tails-Gibson_Assembly.png?w=770 1x, https://images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/3Oz7dr1i5VEiGsByJxaXtb/6c9b05803b2daa9f24e6b9a9b563485c/Length_of_Tails-Gibson_Assembly.png?w=1540 2x"/><img class="image" alt="" loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="//images.ctfassets.net/d49zkrle08v9/3Oz7dr1i5VEiGsByJxaXtb/6c9b05803b2daa9f24e6b9a9b563485c/Length_of_Tails-Gibson_Assembly.png"/></picture><span class="image-caption__text">Change in primer lengths for different Gibson assembly reactions.</span></div><p class="post-element__paragraph">The length of the homologous tails depends on both the size of the inserts and the number of inserts being incorporated.

Quantitation</b></h4><p class="post-element__paragraph">After amplification, check your PCR products on an agarose gel. If only your expected PCR product is present, you can purify the PCR product away from primers, dNTP’s and residual enzyme with a PCR clean-up column. If additional bands are present, you should purify your insert from an agarose gel. Determine the concentration with UV spectroscopy. </p><p class="post-element__paragraph">Suggested molar ratios of fragments to inserts are dependent on the size of the fragments and how many fragments are being assembled. Consult specific manufacturers for their guidelines. </p><h4 class="heading mt-0 post-element__title-h4"><b>3. Reaction Kinetics</b></h4><p class="post-element__paragraph">Gibson assembly results in covalently sealed molecules in vitro. Simple assembly reactions are complete in 15 minutes. Reactions involving 4 or more fragments and/or exceptionally long fragments should be incubated for one hour or longer. To improve cloning efficiency, you can extend the reaction time to greater than one hour.</p><h4 class="heading mt-0 post-element__title-h4"><b>4. Reducing Background Colonies</b></h4><p class="post-element__paragraph">When using restriction enzymes to linearize your vector, uncut plasmid can result in background colonies. You can eliminate this by band purifying your cut vector. Alternatively, you can use inverse PCR to prepare your linear vector. In this case, you can either band purify the resulting product or eliminate uncut template plasmid with the restriction enzyme DpnI. </p><h2 class="heading post-element__title-h2" id="R2lic29uJTIwQXNzZW1ibHklMjBQcm9zJTIwJiUyMENvbnM">Gibson Assembly Pros & Cons</h2><h4 class="heading mt-0 post-element__title-h4"><b>Gibson Assembly Pros</b></h4><p class="post-element__paragraph">As one of several synthetic biology assembly techniques, Gibson assembly is a sequence-independent and seamless cloning technique. </p><ul class="ul ul-default post-element__ul"><li class="li post-element__list-item">The use of PCR means that reliance on conveniently located restriction enzymes is eliminated. </li><li class="li post-element__list-item">NON-restriction and ligation cloning technology allow the direct fusion of desired fragments.</li><li class="li post-element__list-item">Gibson assembly is a one-pot assembly technique for as many as 15 separate fragments. </li><li class="li post-element__list-item">Finally, the technique is fast compared to traditional restriction enzyme cloning.
