The invention “Mixture of cell extract and method for site-directed cloning” relates generally to the field of DNA cloning. It specifically relates to reagents and DNA cloning method based on homologous recombination for a site directed cloning of a DNA fragment into a vector.

Since the first success in 1972, DNA cloning has been widely used and rapidly become the basic and critical technique in biology and biotechnology. Due to its importance, a great number of methods has been developed by a multitude of laboratories to improve efficiency and to reduce the cost of cloning.

The invention has a great potential for the development of an easy, cost-effective, accurate and site-directed DNA cloning kit in Viet Nam to replace imported products.
