Megaprimer-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) strategies allow the versatile and fast assembly and amplification of a myriad of tailor-made or random DNA sequences readily available for conventional or restriction-free (RF) cloning.In this chapter, we present a megaprimer-based PCR protocol that enables the expeditious construction of customized fusion genes ready for cloning into commercial expression plasmids. With the expanding use of protein tag technology in the most diverse application fields, this protocol remains a versatile and affordable solution for the synthesis and fusion of peptide tags/domains of interest.
