Importing the pydna package. Pydna is open source, documentated here and has a support forum as well as a publication:

Pereira F, Azevedo F, Carvalho Â, Ribeiro GF, Budde MW, Johansson B: Pydna: a simulation and documentation tool for DNA assembly strategies using python. BMC Bioinformatics 2015, 16:142.

Read the cloning vector from a local file file, description of pYPKa.


In [2]:
pYPKa =read("pYPKa.gb")

This vector should be a circular 3128 bp DNA molecule.


In [3]:
pYPKa


Out[3]:

The circular seguid checksum of pYPKa should be

aV1eIrzOiCjvw01yvKkxDXHKLMk


In [4]:
pYPKa.cseguid()


Out[4]:
aV1eIrzOiCjvw01yvKkxDXHKLMk

Importing the restriction enzyme to be used for cloning from Biopython. ZraI


In [5]:
from Bio.Restriction import ZraI

This enzyme should cut only once in pYPKa.


In [6]:
pYPKa_ZraI = pYPKa.linearize(ZraI)

The template below comes from a Genbank record. Access to Genbank is needed in order to download the template. If you execute this script, change the email address below to your own. Always tell Genbank who you are, when using their web service.


In [7]:
gb =Genbank("bjornjobb@gmail.com")

The template is downloaded from Genbank below.


In [8]:
template = gb.nucleotide("BK006945.2 REGION: complement(234082..235036)")

The template is a 955 bp linear DNA fragment.

Two primers are used to amplify the insert:


In [12]:
f,r =parse(""">413_ScPDC1tpf
                      TTAAATAAGGGTAGCCTCCCCATA

                      taattaaTTTGATTGATTTGACTGTGTTATTTTG""", ds=False)

insert =pcr(f, r, template)

The primers anneal on the template like this.

A recombinant plasmid is formed by ligating the insert PCR product to the linear vector.


In [14]:
plasmid = (pYPKa_ZraI + insert).looped()

The plasmid sequence is rotated so that the origin is in the same position as for the cloning vector sequence.


In [15]:
pYPKa_Z_PDC1 = plasmid.synced(pYPKa)

Calculate cseguid checksum for the resulting plasmid. Should be

YvPl6_OYiWllqL32w33VzoDyBqE


In [16]:
pYPKa_Z_PDC1.cseguid()


Out[16]:
YvPl6_OYiWllqL32w33VzoDyBqE

The file is named pYPKa_Z_PDC1tp


In [17]:
pYPKa_Z_PDC1.name = "pYPKa_Z_PDC1tp"
pYPKa_Z_PDC1.description = "pYPKa_Z_PDC1tp"

Stamp sequence with cSEGUID checksum


In [18]:
pYPKa_Z_PDC1.stamp()


Out[18]:
cSEGUID_YvPl6_OYiWllqL32w33VzoDyBqE

Write sequence to a local file.


In [19]:
pYPKa_Z_PDC1.write("pYPKa_Z_PDC1.gb")
