Abstract

This invention relates to a method of cloning DNA produced by primer extension including PCR amplified, reverse transcriptase-generated or primer extended synthetic DNA. Specifically, it relates to a method in which alkane diol residue containing oligonucleotide primers are incorporated into DNA by primer extension followed by direct cloning of the target DNA. Following transformation, the host excises the alkane diol residue with its endogenous DNA repair machinery.
