Nanochannel long dna assembly and scalable end-to-end automation

Abstract

Provided herein are nanochannel devices fabricated in a substrate for holding an internal construct in a channel, wherein the construct comprises DNA, with the construct positioned so that a joinable end of the DNA is extending outside the channel into an accessible inlet reservoir. Also provided herein are methods for long DNA assembly, comprising introducing a shuttle with a block group in a nanochannel, introducing joinable DNA segment solution, performing a joining reaction, and advancing the shuttle in the channel while still leaving the tail in the channel.
