Abstract
The present invention provides for a method for generating a directed, recombinant fusion nucleic acid molecule which includes: (A) contacting a first pair of single-stranded primers with a first strand and a second strand of a first nucleic acid molecule and a second pair of single-stranded primers with a first strand and a second strand of a second nucleic acid molecule under hybridization conditions, (B) amplifying the first nucleic acid molecule and the first pair of primers and the second nucleic acid molecule and the second pair of primers under amplification conditions, separately; (C) mixing the amplification products from step (B) and the first primer of the first pair of primers and the second primer of the second pair of primers under hybridization conditions; (D) amplifying the hybridized molecules of step (C) under amplification conditions so as to generate a directed, recombinant fusion nucleic acid molecule so as to generate a directed, recombinant fusion nucleic acid molecule.
