Abstract
Provided are techniques for generating expression products using one or more nucleic acid concatemers that include tandem repeats of a nucleic acid sequence encoding the expression product or products. In one embodiment, different expression products may be co-expressed using a concatemer mixture of a first nucleic acid concatemer and a second nucleic acid concatemer having a predefined ratio to one another.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- formulating a concatemer mixture comprising at least a first nucleic acid concatemer and a second nucleic acid concatemer having a predefined ratio to one another, wherein the first nucleic acid concatemer comprises tandem repeats of a first nucleic acid sequence and wherein the second nucleic acid concatemer comprises tandem repeats of a second nucleic acid sequence;
- and
- co-expressing the concatemer mixture to generate a first expression product from the first nucleic acid sequence and a second expression product from the second nucleic acid sequence,
- wherein the first nucleic acid concatemer, the second nucleic acid concatemer, or both are over 10 kb in length,
- wherein the ratio of first expression product to the second expression product is proportional to the predefined ratio of the first nucleic acid concatemer to the second nucleic acid concatemer in the concatemer mixture, and
- wherein the molar ratio of the first concatemer to the second concatemer is between 1:1 and 1:10.

A method comprising:
- formulating a mixture comprising at least a first nucleic acid concatemer, a second nucleic acid concatemer, and a third nucleic acid concatemer in a predefined ratio, wherein each of the nucleic acid concatemers comprises tandem repeats of two or more nucleic acid sequences;
- and
- co-expressing the concatemer mixture to generate a first expression product, a second expression product, and a third expression product from each nucleic acid concatemer in the mixture,
- wherein the first nucleic acid concatemer, the second nucleic acid concatemer, the third nucleic acid concatemer, or any combination thereof are over 10 kb in length,
- wherein the molar ratio of the the first expression product, the second expression product, and the third expression product is proportional to the predefined molar ratio of the first nucleic acid concatemer, the second nucleic acid concatemer, and the third nucleic acid concatemer in the concatemer mixture, and
- wherein the molar ratio of the first concatemer to the second concatemer to the third concatemer is C1:C2:Cn, where C1, C2, and Cn each is between 1 and 10.
3 more elements
A method, comprising:
