Use of <em>In Vivo</em> Assembly for High-efficiency Plasmid Construction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In vivo assembly (IVA) is a molecular cloning method that uses intrinsic enzymes present in bacteria that promote intermolecular recombination of DNA fragments to assemble plasmids. This method functions by transforming DNA fragments with regions of 15-50 bp of homology into commonly used laboratory Escherichia coli strains and the bacteria use the RecA-independent repair pathway to assemble the DNA fragments into a plasmid. This method is more rapid and cost-effective than many molecular cloning methods that rely on in vitro assembly of plasmids prior to transformation into E. coli strains. This is because in vitro methods require the purchase of specialized enzymes and the performance of sequential enzymatic reactions that require incubations. However, unlike in vitro methods, IVA has not been experimentally shown to assemble linear plasmids. Here we share the IVA protocol used by our laboratory to rapidly assemble plasmids and subclone DNA fragments between plasmids with different origins of replication and antibiotic resistance markers.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
