Abstract

Compositions, kits, and methods are provided for use in a recombinational cloning or subcloning methods for constructing expression vectors which comprise: ligating a library of double-stranded linear donor DNAs, where each member of the library includes a donor DNA sequence, with a double-stranded linear driver DNA which includes a promoter sequence and a donor recombination site to form a single circular donor DNA, the single circular donor DNA not including an origin of replication, where the donor DNA sequence is under the transcriptional control of the promoter; and contacting the circular donor DNA and a circular acceptor acceptor vector in the presence of a recombinase to form a single fused circular vector, the circular acceptor vector comprising an origin of replication and an acceptor recombination site capable of recombining with the circular donor DNA.
