This volume provides a comprehensive collection of DNA assembly protocols that will prove useful for any researcher interested in molecular cloning, synthetic biology, or DNA manipulation. Chapters will guide readers through computational tools to design and track the construction of DNA assemblies, workflows that enable high-throughput assembly of DNA constructs, standardized toolkits and protocols for DNA assembly, and combinatorial solutions that enable the construction and optimization of entire metabolic pathways. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, application details for both the expert and non-expert reader, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, DNA Cloning and Assembly: Methods and Protocols aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
