What is CloneIt ?
The use of plasmid vectors in cloning strategies is the basis of any
molecular biologist repertoire. Efficiency is essential and requires the
use of the most appropriate restriction enzymes choices for the desired
application. Selection of those enzymes remains a skill. Several points
that merit consideration include (1) the enzymes characteristics, (2)
location of the restriction sites within the sequence, (3) complementarity
of protuding ends, (4) possible self ligation, (5) use of modifying DNA
polymerase generating blunt ends, (6) in frame cloning constraints,(7) use
of partial digestions and (8) the creation of a stop codon at the ligation
site. This exercise is labor intensive, even with the help of the
classical DNA analysis softwares. These programs typically facilitate
localizing restriction sites in a plasmid sequence; however it is
impossible to examine all restriction sites and /or combinations then, a
simple cloning strategy may be over-looked as a result of incomplete or
inadequate searching.
The CloneIt program was created in order to quickly find cloning
strategies (including sub-cloning, in-frame deletions and frameshifts)
while controlling the problems described above.

SubCloning
..............................................................................
CloneIt V1.0 has found a solution:
Digest VECTOR with EcoRI [G^AATTC] (878) and Sal I [g^tcgac] (894).
5' --G.CCG.G/AA.TT C.CCG.GGG.ATC.CG/T.CGA. CCT.GCA.GCC.AAG-- 3'
3' --C.GGC.C TT.AA/G.GGC.CCC.TAG.GC A.GCT./GGA.CGT.CGG.TTC-- 5'
NH2 P E F P G I R R P A A K .COOH
Digest first with EcoRI .Then treat with Klenow DNA polymerase.Finally digest
with Sal I .
Digest INSERT with Sca I [AGT^ACT] (1034) and Sal I [g^tcgac] (3605).
5' --AT.AAA.GT/ A.CTT.TCA.AAG.AAA.G-- --TA.GAG./TCG.A CC.TGC.AGG.CAT.G-- 3'
3' --TA.TTT.CA/ T.GAA.AGT.TTC.TTT.C-- --AT.CTC. AGC.T/GG.ACG.TCC.GTA.C-- 3'
NH2 K V L S K K E - -- E S T C R H A .COOH
Treat with T4 DNA polymerase.
Sites wil be in frame ligated in 5'.
The first stop codon detected BEFORE the EcoRI site (878) is localized at
position 428 on vector. The first stop codon detected AFTER the Sca I
site (1034) is localized at position 3558 on insert.
Digestion post-ligation: no enzyme was found.
..............................................................................
Finding in-frame deletions
..............................................................................
CloneIt has found an in-frame deletion:
Digest INSERT with Bcl I [t^gatca] (1427) and PstI [CTGCA^G] (3611).
5' --TG.TAT./GAT.C AG.GTT.CTT.ACT.G-- --CG.ACC. TGC.A/GG.CAT.GCA.AGC.T-- 3'
3' --AC.ATA. CTA.G/TC.CAA.GAA.TGA.C-- --GC.TGG./ACG.T CC.GTA.CGT.TCG.A-- 5'
NH2 Y D Q V L T E -- -- T C R H A S F .COOH
Treat with T4 DNA polymerase.
Cloning boxes boundaries :[880-1155] [3359-3634].
Original: 5' ================================================ 3'
Deletion: 5' =========......................................= 3'
Equivalent to a deletion of 728 amino acids [79 %]
Digestion post-ligation: BamHI Sal I Acc I Nsi I .
The first stop codon detected AFTER the PstI site (3611) is localized at
position 3639 on insert.
