Our team synthesized short Oligo fragments (100 nt) in vitro according to the designed phage genome sequence and then assembled by PCR amplification, Gibson assembly, or yeast recombination platform to form a complete phage genome. In recent years, the technology of artificially designing and synthesizing large fragment phage genomes has matured, which can be divided into two ways: in vivo assembly and in vitro assembly. In vitro assembly is to carry out phage gene recombination assembly by PCR, restriction enzyme ligation, Gibson assembly, and Golden Gate and other methods, and then transform it into host bacteria for phage genome rescue. The genomes of some bacteriophages, such as filamentous bacteriophage M13 or RNA bacteriophage MS2, are small enough (<10 kb) to be easily assembled in vitro. However, the genomes of most tailed phages are too large (>20 kb) to be easily manipulated in vitro, and when amplifying phage gene fragments in bacteria, bacterial growth may be inhibited. many researchers have explored the assembly of phage genomes in vivo. Yeast readily ingests exogenous DNA and possesses a powerful homologous recombination system, making yeast a platform for efficient splicing of large DNA fragments while avoiding the cytotoxicity associated with phage genes.
Advances in synthetic biology have greatly promoted the artificial synthesis of bacteriophage genomes, making it feasible and convenient for us to design and synthesize bacteriophage de novo. Our services are listed as follows, but are not limited to:
