Hello,
I've been working on creating a fluorescent fusion protein using PCR to join up three segments. We sent it for sequencing and it's come back as precisely the reverse to what it should be. Has anybody got any ideas on what might have happened?
Many thanks,
cts

what do you mean by reversed? If your fragments were ab, cd and ef and you want to put it into abcdef, what was your result?

Cis or trans? That's what matters.

Sorry, I didn't make that very clear. It's basically gone efcdab.

I see, were your fusion parts enough different?

As far as I'm aware they were fairly different. At first I wondered if there were any false priming sites, but we did check beforehand and none appeared significant. I'm just puzzled really!

interesting. I guess you did it in one step PCR, right? What about to fuse first two parts and than add the other.
Or you could fuse A with B; B with C and let some microorganism to fuse AB with BC for you

can you post your exact protocol here so I can get a better picture?
