Advanced molecular cloning
A clone is a replica of all or part of a macromolecule (eg. DNA). Cloning a gene means to extract a gene from one organism (for example by PCR) and insert it into a second organism (usually via a vector), where it can be used and studied. A gene can be cloned into various different vectors, depending on the what the gene will be used for and the size of the gene.CLC DNA Workbench and CLC Main Workbench offer graphically advanced in silico cloning and design of vectors for various purposes. Our approach for visual cloning is based on another philosophy than most other software tools, as the users are in total in control of the cloning process - contrary to the more or less automatic and non-controllable cloning processes in other applications.
Some of the advantages of our molecular cloning tools are
- A graphically illustrated cloning process with total user control
- Sequence detail functionality allows easy overview of all fragments ends and overhangs
- Highly flexible mouse-controlled DNA manipulation to accommodate all forms of restriction enzyme, exonuclease, and ligase activity
- Advanced graphical display allows you to easily view and introduce cuts at restriction enzyme recognition sites
- The option of introducing PCR fragments in the cloning process that are generated by the Primer Designer function, and have primers locations marked as annotation
