May 22, 2013 at 12:35 comment added shigeta Most vectors do have convenient cut sites, but I can see that this is convenient in a lot of ways and it would be quick to order new oligos for the vector. i really want to try this in the lab...
May 22, 2013 at 7:11 comment added Mark B Well the downside to cutting the vector is that a restriction site must already exist at the junction. This is a major limitation that Gibson overcomes. The potential downsides of using PCR to amplify the backbone: you might have problems getting PCR to work (always a potential problem), and there is a minimal risk of introducing mutations during PCR (but phusion polymerase should give very few mutations).
May 21, 2013 at 12:58 comment added shigeta it says can linearize the plasmid by cutting it and so you'd only need 2 primers to clone the insert. what advantage is there clone the vector as well? I guess it saves a miniprep, but 2 oligos cost more than a miniprep does..
