LIC is a reliable cloning method, but it is limited by its...recombination intermediate to bacteria, so it can be transformed as-is into cells. The cells then get to work ...is long enough to hold it together, it can be transformed into bacteria, which will efficiently repair ... annealed. The recombination intermediate is transformed into bacteria, which repair the plasmid. Created... To overcome this limitation, one option is to perform a hierarchical assembly, assembling fragments in...
