Gibson Assembly Primer Design

Design primers for seamless DNA assembly with automatic overlap generation.

Gibson assembly enables seamless joining of multiple DNA fragments using a 5′ exonuclease, DNA polymerase, and DNA ligase in a single isothermal reaction. Fragments must share ≥20 bp homology with adjacent segments (Tm ≥50°C).

Principle: Arrange DNA fragments in desired assembly order. Including vector sequence at both ends streamlines circular construct design.

Primer Design Options
  • Sequences use standard IUB/IUPAC codes: B=CGT, D=AGT, H=ACT, K=GT, M=AC, N=ACGT, R=AG, S=GC, V=ACG, W=AT, Y=CT.
  • 3′-end pattern: Use N for any, or specify patterns like WSS.
  • Linguistic Complexity (LC%) measures sequence vocabulary richness; 100% = maximum diversity.

Quick Help
  • Provide fragments in intended order (FASTA). Adjacent fragments must share overlap (≥20 bp, Tm ≥50°C).
  • Use vector sequence at both ends for circular assembly support.
