Abstract

Aspects of the invention relate to methods, compositions for designing and producing a target nucleic acid. In particular, aspects of the invention relate to the multiplex synthesis of target polynucleotides.

Claims (20)

1. A method of producing a plurality of double-stranded oligonucleotides having a plurality of overhangs, comprising:

a) melting a first plurality of blunt-ended double-stranded oligonucleotides and a second plurality of blunt-ended double-stranded oligonucleotides to form a plurality of single stranded oligonucleotides; and

b) re-annealing the plurality of single-stranded oligonucleotides to form a plurality of double-stranded oligonucleotides having a plurality of overhangs, wherein the plurality of overhangs are designed to be relatively mutually orthogonal to each other.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second pluralities of blunt ended double-stranded oligonucleotides are error-corrected or error-reduced prior to melting.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of blunt-ended double-stranded oligonucleotides is attached to a support.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the support is solid.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the support is a bead.

6. The method of claim 3 , wherein the support is a stem-loop polynucleotide.

7. The method of claim 3 , wherein each oligonucleotide of the plurality of blunt-ended double-stranded oligonucleotides is immobilized to the same support.

8. The method of claim 3 , wherein each oligonucleotide of the plurality of blunt-ended double-stranded oligonucleotides is immobilized to a different support.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second plurality of blunt-ended double-stranded oligonucleotides is attached to a support.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the support is solid.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the support is a bead.

12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the support is a stem-loop polynucleotide.

13. The method of claim 9 , wherein each oligonucleotide of the plurality of blunt-ended double-stranded oligonucleotides is immobilized to the same support.

14. The method of claim 9 , wherein each oligonucleotide of the plurality of blunt-ended double-stranded oligonucleotides is immobilized to a different support.

15. The method of claim 2 , wherein the first and second pluralities of blunt ended double-stranded oligonucleotides are error-corrected or error-reduced using a mismatch binding protein.

16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second pluralities of blunt-ended double-stranded oligonucleotides are in the same reaction volume.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of blunt-ended double-stranded oligonucleotides is in a first reaction volume and second plurality of blunt-ended double-stranded oligonucleotides is in a second reaction volume.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising combining the first and second reaction volumes.
