TA Cloning

TA Cloning uses the terminal transferase activity of some DNA polymerases. In TA Cloning Taq polymerase adds a 3'-A overhang to each end of the PCR product. TA Cloning makes it possible to clone the PCR product into a cloning vector with 3'-T overhangs. TA Cloning is widely used in molecular biology.

TA Cloning exploits the terminal transferase activity of some DNA polymerases. In TA Cloning Taq polymerase adds a 3'-A overhang to each end of the PCR product. TA Cloning makes it possible to clone the PCR product into a cloning vector with 3'-T overhangs. During TA Cloning the PCR products with dA overhang are mixed in high proportion with the vector. The complementary overhangs of T vector and PCR product are then ligated using T4 DNA ligase.
