DNAketsuichi

DNAketsuichi, also known as DNAket, is a synthetic DNA molecule designed to be a universal building block for synthetic biology. It was developed by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. DNAketsuichi is a 100-base pair DNA fragment that can be easily assembled into larger DNA constructs using a process called DNA assembly. This assembly process is facilitated by the presence of specific sequences, known as "sticky ends," at the ends of the DNA fragments. These sticky ends allow for the precise and efficient joining of multiple DNAketsuichi fragments to create complex DNA constructs. DNAketsuichi has been used in various applications, including the creation of synthetic genes, the modification of existing genes, and the development of new biological tools. Its versatility and ease of use make it a valuable tool in the field of synthetic biology.
