CLONE SEQUENCE VERIFICATION

Confirm the accuracy of your clone and inspect regions of disagreement. PRICING DOWNLOAD FREE TRIAL

Use SeqBuilder Pro to confirm the accuracy of your clone created in the lab.

You’ve finished creating your clone in the lab and are ready to move on to downstream experiments, but how do you know that all your steps have resulted in the expected recombinant clones? Many researchers verify their clone accuracy through Sanger sequencing. We make it easy to perform clone sequence verification to confirm that your Sanger sequencing results perfectly match the clone you designed. Our clone sequence verification workflow confirms that the clone fully contains the insert of interest in the correct orientation, is in-frame with the vector, and confirms that there is adequate coverage of trace files across the entire clone. If discrepancies are identified during the clone sequence verification process, we show you exactly where the disagreements lie, so that you can address them. Use SeqBuilder Pro’s clone sequence verification workflow to catch read misalignment and insertion errors before proceeding with downstream experiments.

Virtual Cloning in SeqBuilder Pro

This overview shows how to do virtual cloning in SeqBuilder Pro, using Gibson cloning as an example. However, you can perform any of the following cloning methods using the same procedure, by simply choosing the name from a drop-down menu: Gateway, GeneArt, restriction enzyme, In-Fusion, TA, directional TOPO.

Sanger Sequence Assembly

See how to assemble and analyze Sanger sequencing data using SeqMan Ultra in this 2-minute video.

FAQs

What virtual cloning methods are supported for clone sequence verification?

SeqBuilder Pro supports MultiSite Gateway Pro cloning, Gateway cloning, Gibson cloning, In-Fusion cloning, GeneArt cloning, TA cloning, PCR-directed restriction cloning, and directional TOPO cloning.

What are the essential requirements of the clone sequence so that it can be used for clone sequence verification?

The clone sequence must contain both a vector and insert GenBank-style feature so that SeqBuilder Pro can verify the clone. Any clone created in SeqBuilder Pro will automatically contain these two features.

How do I interpret the clone sequence verification results?

SeqBuilder Pro will produce a Clone Verification Summary that provides a clone schematic that shows where the Sanger/ABI reads aligned, regions of mismatch, and a list of SNPs. If the degree of mismatch is significant, the summary page will clearly state that the clone disagrees with the aligned sequence data.

How do I visualize the aligned Sanger data that verifies my clone?

The SeqBuilder clone sequence verification report contains hyperlinks that will open the alignment in SeqMan Ultra, part of Lasergene Molecular Biology, so that the user can inspect the conflicting regions and SNPs within the context of the alignment.
