We invite researchers and PhD students to join a hands-on practical workshop on In-Fusion cloning. Participants will learn the complete workflow, from experimental design to seamless plasmid assembly, combining theoretical concepts with practical exercises using SnapGene software. The workshop is supported by BioAvots.
Topics Covered
- Principles of In-Fusion cloning
- Insertion DNA preparation
- Plasmid vector selection and preparation
- Primer design for In-Fusion cloning
- Mechanism of seamless DNA assembly
- Transformation of competent bacteria
- Clone verification and DNA sequencing
- In silicon cloning using SnapGene software (practical section)
Prior Knowledge Recommended
Participants should have:
- A basic understanding of PCR
- A basic understanding about plasmids and DNA cloning
- An interest in applying molecular cloning techniques to their own research projects
Workshop requirements
- Bring your own Laptop
- Install Snapgene software before the workshop (please do not install “Snapgene Viewer”)
- A temporary educational SnapGene license teaching license will be issued to each participant during the workshop!)
