Abstract
The instant invention provides for the assembly of large DNA oligonucleotide constructs by the self-assembly of multiple oligonucleotide fragments, wherein the assembly is guided by the hybridization between non-standard nucleotides that form non-standard nucleobase pairs orthogonal to the standard T:A and C:G nucleobase pairs. Adding nucleobase pairs increases the information density of the fragments, minimizing off-target hybridization. The invention further provides rules and methods for converting non-standard pairs into standard pairs using polymerase copying with conversion.
