Abstract:
Compositions that describe a thermostable DNA ligase isolated from sp. (strain 9 N-7) and methods for making und using the same are described. The thermostable DMA ligase depends on ATP and not NAD+ as a cofactor during ligation, and retains activity at 100 C.
Compositions And Methods Relating To Synthetic Rna Polynucleotides Created From Synthetic Dna Oligonucleotides
Compositions and methods are provided for forming a single RNA polynucleotide from a plurality of DNA oligonucleotides in a single reaction chamber using combined reagents in a single step reaction. DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase and single stranded (ss) DNA oligonucleotides are combined where each DNA oligonucleotide has one or more sequence modules, wherein one sequence module in the first ss DNA oligonucleotide is complementary to a sequence module at the 3′ end of the second ss DNA oligonucleotide; and wherein a second module on the first ss DNA oligonucleotide is an RNA polymerase promoter sequence; and forming a single RNA polynucleotide, excluding the RNA promoter sequence, derived from the first and second DNA oligonucleotides
