MultiSite Gateway® Technology
| What if you could easily and accurately assemble 2, 3 or even 4 DNA fragments in the order and orientation of your desire into one construct? Imagine reconstituting key element(s) of a pathway or functional complex within one plasmid. Now you can do all of this and more. |
Compared to subcloning using restriction enzymes, Gateway recombination cloning technology is efficient, simple and effective, saving you time and effort (Table 1). Now, with added flexibility to assemble multiple DNA fragments precisely, efficiently, and directionally in a defined order and orientation and without subcloning, Multisite Gateway is the ideal choice for protein expression.
