Abstract
It is a first object of the present invention to provide a method for preparing a Tile vector, being a vector, which comprises a selectable marker and a coding polynucleotide, wherein said coding polynucleotide is immediately preceded and followed by a type IIs recognition sequence, wherein said preceding and following recognition sequences are recognized by a same type IIs restriction enzyme, but have an opposite orientation. More particularly, the position and orientation of said preceding and following type IIs recognition sequences provides for the cleavage of said Tile vector by a corresponding type IIs restriction enzyme resulting in the release of said coding polynucleotide sequence having at its respective ends overhang sequences with a known orientation and length, while lacking said preceding and following type IIs recognition sequences. In a second object the present invention provides a method for using such Tile vectors obtained as previously described for joining two or more coding polynucleotides to form a product polynucleotide. Typically, said product polynucleotide is integrated in a vector.
