This table summarizes the construction methods for Site-Directed Mutagenesis Libraries, providing a brief description of each method.
| Method |
Description |
| Overlap Extension PCR |
Design primers, including mutant primers containing the target mutation site. Perform PCR amplification using two overlapping primers to amplify the target DNA segment. Use the amplified product as a template for the second round of PCR, amplifying the entire target DNA segment with external primers to create a complete DNA segment containing the mutation. |
| Primer Extension Method |
Design two complementary primers, one of which contains a mutant primer at the target mutation site. Conduct PCR amplification using these two primers to amplify the target DNA segment. The resulting product carries the mutation site and can be used to construct a site-directed mutagenesis library. |
| Recombination PCR Method |
Design two pairs of primers, each pair containing a mutant primer at one of the target mutation sites. Conduct two rounds of PCR using different primers to amplify the target DNA segment. Mix the products from the two rounds of PCR and perform a third round of PCR to form a DNA segment with mutation sites. |
| Insertion Method |
Design mutation primers containing the target mutation site. Mix the mutation primers with linearized target DNA segments, and use DNA ligase or DNA recombinase to connect them, forming a DNA segment with the mutation. |
| Reverse Transcription and PCR |
Transcribe RNA into cDNA through reverse transcription, design primers with the target mutation site, and perform PCR amplification of cDNA to obtain a DNA segment containing the mutation site. This method is useful for incorporating mutations identified in RNA sequences into the corresponding cDNA library. |
