Enzymatic Assembly of Small Synthetic Genes with Repetitive Elements.

Gene synthesis efficiency has greatly improved in recent years but is limited when it comes to repetitive sequences, which results in synthesis failure or delays by DNA synthesis vendors. This represents a major obstacle for the development of synthetic biology since repetitive elements are increasingly being used in the design of genetic circuits and design of biomolecular nanostructures. Here, we describe a method for the assembly of small synthetic genes with repetitive elements: First, a gene of interest is split
