A rapid and scalable approach to build synthetic repetitive hormone-responsive promoters.

Advancement of DNA-synthesis technologies has greatly facilitated the development of synthetic biology tools. However, high-complexity DNA sequences containing tandems of short repeats are still notoriously difficult to produce synthetically, with commercial DNA synthesis companies usually rejecting orders that exceed specific sequence complexity thresholds. To overcome this limitation, we developed a simple, single-tube reaction method that enables the generation of DNA sequences containing multiple repetitive elements.
