The invention relates to direct
cloning of a biosynthetic
gene cluster, in particular to a direct
cloning method and application of an ultra-large biosynthetic
gene cluster, a
microbial genome is extracted from a low-melting-point
agarose gel block through combination, and the ultra-large
gene cluster can be rapidly cloned in a targeted manner by utilizing the specific
cutting characteristic of
CRISPR / Cas and a
saccharomyces cerevisiae
TAR technology. According to the method, mechanical shearing can be avoided by extracting and treating the
genome in the
thallus embedding block, and the operation is simple, so that the integrity of an ultra-
large target gene cluster can be maintained to the maximum extent, and particularly, the probability that rearrangement is extremely easy to occur in a
yeast body due to excessive overlapped fragments can be reduced for (ultra)-large PKS / NRPS gene clusters.
CRISPR / Cas mediated cleavage can occur at any
DNA site, and a
target gene cluster can be released in a most accurate and fastest manner, so that targeted
cloning is not limited by
restriction enzyme cleavage sites any more. The high efficiency of the
TAR technology enables the target cloning of (ultra) large gene clusters to be simple and feasible.
