PCR-based gene synthesis with overlapping unisense-oligomers asymmetric extension supported by a simulator for oligonucleotide extension achieved 1 kbp dsDNA.

We formulated a method to synthesize 1 kbp DNA fragments using 'oligomer unidirectional joining method' via asymmetric extension supported by a simulator for oligonucleotide extension (AESOE). In this study, trials were conducted on 41 sets of different genomic pieces of ten flaviviral genomes, and 31 bacterial 16s rRNA fragments with sizes ranging from 500 bases to 1.0 kbp. Synthetic gene production was found to be successful in all those sets. The synthesis method has three steps: the first step is a seven-linked AESOE, the second step is the linking of the 400-base fragments from the first step, and the third step is the final amplification. Our present approach is highly reproducible and may no longer require optimization of oligomer design.
