SGI-DNA Launches Gibson Assembly® Ultra Kit for Robust, Seamless and Efficient Construction of Synthetic Genes, Genetic Pathways and Whole Genomes

LA JOLLA, Calif.Jan. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SGI-DNA announces the launch of the Gibson Assembly® Ultra Kit which allows researchers to perform complex, large, and multiple fragment assemblies in a simple, two-step reaction.
"With the Gibson Assembly® Ultra Kit, researchers can assemble up to 15 fragments at one time in less than two hours," says Vibhu Gupta, Senior Product Manager at Synthetic Genomics, Inc. "The kit provides a proprietary enzyme formulation for Gibson Assembly®, allowing researchers to assemble fragments ranging from 100 bp to 100 kb." "Our goal is to provide researchers with cutting-edge, easy to use, and seamless technology that takes synthetic biology to a whole new level."
This Gibson Assembly® Ultra Kit is the second kit in SGI's growing Gibson Assembly® portfolio utilizing the Gibson Assembly® method. The first kit launched was the Gibson Assembly® HiFi 1 Step Kit, a high fidelity formulation that significantly reduces errors/mutations at the cloning junctions, enabling researchers to assemble up to 5 fragments in a one hour, one-step reaction.
The Gibson Assembly® method was developed in 2009 by Dan Gibson, Ph.D., and his colleagues at the J. Craig Venter Institute during the team's quest to construct the first synthetic cell. Since its introduction to the life science community, the Gibson Assembly® method has become a mainstay in many synthetic biology laboratories and has attracted interest from both the academic and commercial life sciences community due to its ease-of-use, robustness, and flexibility.
The Gibson Assembly® Ultra Kit is available in 3 sizes: 5 reactions (starter kit), 10 reactions and 50 reactions. Mastermixes are sold separately.

  1. Finding the right space for corporate events is important. Finding the right area is indeed important. Innovative decor and the overall structure account for a strong first-impression on visitors. We must choose a place that is well-connected to transport.

  2. DNA, a long chain polymer, is composed of nucleotides. Sugar and phosphoric acid are linked by an ester bond and they can form the long chain backbone. There is a kind of link in one sugar unit and four basic groups. New products gonna boost the market.

  3. Genomics: American biologist Craig Venter led the research team recently announced the creation of the world's first artificial genome control cells, causing widespread concern and controversy. Anyway, the work of synthetic genomics has produced a powerful biology toolkit.
