PCR cloning
GC Cloning (patents pending) is the first major advance in PCR cloning since the first description of TA-cloning (Mead, D., et. al. (1991) Biotechnology 9, 657.)
The GC Cloning technology is based on the discovery that these same enzymes add a single 3´-G to DNA molecules, either during PCR or as a separate G-tailing reaction to any blunt DNA.
GC Cloning and Amplification Kits (pGC™ Blue and pSMART® GC Vectors)
The pGC™ Blue Vector and The pSMART® GC vectors contains a single 3´-C overhang, which is compatible with the single 3´-G overhang on the inserts. The pGC Blue vector includes the lacZ sequence for blue/white screening, as well as dual opposed RNA polymerase promoters for in vitro transcription of the cloned insert.
Available Low and High copy number |
- Clone PCR products from proofreading or non-proofreading polymerases
- Stabilize otherwise unclonable inserts.
- No lost clones or deleted sequences.
- T7 and SP6 RNA polymerase promoters (for pGC™ Blue)

BigEasy® v2.0 Linear Cloning System (pJAZZ® Vectors)
The BigEasy Long PCR Cloning Kits contain everything needed to efficiently clone blunt or G-tailed PCR products up to 30 kb into the unbiased, high-fidelity pJAZZ linear cloning vector. There are two different versions of the vector (Figure 2) that are compatible with either proofreading (pJAZZ-OK Blunt Vector) or non-proofreading (pJAZZ-OK GC Vector) PCR polymerases.
The BigEasy Linear Cloning Kit is ideal for constructing bias-free, large-insert genomic libraries, or for cloning difficult DNA of any size up to 30 kb.
Note: pJAZZ-OC vector contains the Camr (Chloramphenicol resistance gene) instead of Kanr gene
- Clone any long or short PCR product.
- Clone PCR products from proofreading or non-proofreading polymerases.
- Stabilize otherwise unclonable inserts.
- Create libraries from A/T-rich or G/C-rich genomes.
- Clone gene clusters or operons
- Contain everything needed to efficiently clone blunt (pJAZZ-OK/OC Blunt Vector), sticky (pJAZZ-OK/OC NotI Vector) or G-tailed PCR products (pJAZZ-OK GC Vector) up to 30 kb into the unbiased, high-fidelity pJAZZ linear cloning vector
- A linear and not supercoiled vector allow unclonable sequences to be stabilized
- Transcription-free cloning technology, which further increases insert stability
- Inducible copy-number
