Abstract

DNA ends can become damaged for various reasons making them unsuitable for TA cloning techniques, the easiest and most common of the DNA cloning technologies. Examples of end-damaged DNA include ancient DNA and those produced by laboratory methods such as sonication. In this chapter, we discuss how to deal with end-damaged DNA prior to cloning with either the popular pGEM®-T Easy Vector Systems Kit and TOPO™ TA Cloning™ Kits.
