Collection: Blunt-end Cloning Kits

Blunt-end cloning kits are designed for the cloning of DNA fragments that have blunt ends. Blunt ends result from DNA cleavage by restriction enzymes that cut both DNA strands at the same position, leaving no overhangs. Unlike sticky-end cloning, which relies on the complementarity of overhanging sequences, blunt-end cloning involves the direct ligation of blunt-ended DNA fragments. The key components of our blunt-end cloning kits typically include a cloning vector with blunt-ended cloning sites, DNA ligase to catalyze the ligation reaction, competent E. coli cells for transformation, and selection markers for identifying successful transformants.

Our kits are widely used in:

1. Cloning PCR products

2. Generation of fusion proteins

3. Site-directed mutagenesis

4. Construction of genomic libraries

5. Subcloning

6. Creation of expression constructs

7. Directed evolution studies
