In-yeast reconstruction of the African swine fever virus genome isolated from clinical samples

Summary: This protocol describes a synthetic genomics pipeline to clone and engineer the entire 190-kbp genome of the African swine fever virus (ASFV) genotype II in yeast using transformation-associated recombination cloning. The viral genome was cloned using DNA directly extracted from a clinical...

Description
Summary:Summary: This protocol describes a synthetic genomics pipeline to clone and engineer the entire 190-kbp genome of the African swine fever virus (ASFV) genotype II in yeast using transformation-associated recombination cloning. The viral genome was cloned using DNA directly extracted from a clinical sample. In addition, the precise deletion of a non-essential gene and its replacement by a synthetic reporter gene cassette are presented. This protocol is applicable to other ASFV genotypes and other large DNA viruses.
