Abstract

Abstract A method of altering double stranded DNA comprising converting double stranded DNA to single stranded DNA in a region surrounding a selected cleavage site, hybridizing a complimentary primer to the single stranded region formed in the previous step, and restoring enzymatically the second strand which had been eliminated.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 117 words
A method of cleaving double stranded DNA at any given point which comprises: (a) converting the double stranded DNA to single-stranded DNA in a region surrounding said point; (b) hybridizing to the single-stranded region formed in step (a) a complementary primer length of single-stranded DNA, the 5' end of the primer lying opposite the nucleotide that is 5' prior to the intended cleavage site; (c) restoring that portion of the second strand eliminated in step (a) which lies in the 3' direction from said primer by reaction with DNA polymerase in the presence of adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine-containing deoxynucleotide triphosphates; and (d) digesting the remaining single-stranded length of DNA which protrudes beyond the intended cleavage point.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 117 words
A method of cleaving double stranded DNA at any given point which comprises: (a) converting the double stranded DNA to single-stranded DNA in a region surrounding said point; (b) hybridizing to the single-stranded region formed in step (a) a complementary primer length of single-stranded DNA, the 5' end of the primer lying opposite the nucleotide that is 5' prior to the intended cleavage site; (c) restoring that portion of the second strand eliminated in step (a) which lies in the 3' direction from said primer by reaction with DNA polymerase in the presence of adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine-containing deoxynucleotide triphosphates; and (d) digesting the remaining single-stranded length of DNA which protrudes beyond the intended cleavage point.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 39 words
The method of claim 1 wherein steps (c) and (d) are performed simultaneously by reaction with DNA polymerase which polymerizes in the direction of 5'→3', is exonucleolytic in the direction of 3'→5' but non-exonucleolytic in the direction of 5'→3'.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 12 words
The method of claim 2 wherein the polymeric is Klenow Polymerase I.
