Automated Virtual Cloning
Available cloning methods
Preliminary Step (optional): Add custom vectors to the cloning vector catalog
Create a custom vector for Gateway cloning
Create a custom vector for TA cloning
Create a custom vector for directional TOPO cloning
Step 1: Start a cloning project and specify the insert
Option A – Use a sequence file on your computer as the insert
Option B – Copy inserts from another SeqBuilder Pro cloning project
Option C – Use an entire open SeqBuilder Pro sequence as the insert
Option D – Use part of an open SeqBuilder Pro sequence file as the insert
Option E – Use the PCR product of the current primer pair as the insert
Option F – Use restriction enzyme cut sites to create the insert
Step 2: Specify the method and options
Step 3: Specify the vector and entry clone
Step 4: Digest/linearize a circular vector
Step 5: Run the cloning simulation
Step 6 (optional): Verify the clone
Interpret results from clone verification
Step 7: View and print cloning results
