DNA assembly and cloning in an overnight run with the BioXp™ 3200 system

Abstract

The BioXp™ 3200 system is an automated personal genomic workstation that builds and clones DNA fragments in a process that is virtually hands-free. In an overnight run, the instrument generates cloned DNA from custom-designed oligonucleotide pools and reagents engineered from sequence information. Here we discuss highlights and advantages of the BioXp system and the two modules currently available, the assembly module and the assembly-and-cloning module.
