Designing a gene or "Gene design"

On this tutorial you can see an easy way to design oligos for gene synthesis, or in other words Gene design.

The description is based on the Instructional Videos from the iGEM website!

Gene design in less than 10 minutes!

Good luck!!!




Some usefull tools:

1. Gene design web page
2. Tools at DNA20
3. Tools at DNA Works
4. A Revese-Complement Tool
5. Gene designer a comprehensive tool to artificial gene design from DNA20 described here.


If you would like to read about the application of design principles in Drug Discovery you should read this book:

Restriction Enzyme Resources

Dear Colleagues,

Sometimes it is good to have links that cover a topic. This is why I have collected here a bunch of links that might be useful for you in your work.

You can have a good description of the methods used in restriction enzyme analysis here: Methodbook.net

If you would like to use restriction enzymes for your work, you can find a list of links of the best known restriction enzyme providers below.

New England Biolabs

Promega

Roche Applied Science: Benchmate

Invitrogen

Fermentas

If you want to start your work with these enzymes, please consult the protocol provided with the enzyme or check it at the website of the manufacturer.

Be sure you know what an isoschizomer is, what star activity is, or how you can make double digestion (details here and here).
