---+ Modular Cloning using CIDAR MoClo kit The lab recently acquired a CIDAR MoClo (_C_ ross-disciplinary _I_ ntegration of _D_ esign _A_ utomation _R_ esearch lab _Mo_ dular _Clo_ ning) Kit from Addgene. The website describing its use can be found here: [[https://www.addgene.org/cloning/moclo/densmore/][Addgene page describing CIDAR MoClo]]. The original paper can be found here: [[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26479688][Paper describing updated CIGAR MoClo]] In short, MoClo is a golden-gate based assembly strategy that allows for combinatorial assembly of plasmids based on individual parts. So if you have a particular gene you want to express (say gfp), and want to try a variety of promoters and ribosome binding sites, this is a great option for easily making these variants (90 minute assembly). However- all of your parts must be on "entry vectors." This process can be a little time consuming and requires sequence verification. So if you're only going to build a single construct, and aren't interested in trying a lot of variants, Gibson may make more sense. -- Main.SeanLeonard - 03 Feb 2016
