---+ Broad-Host-Range Toolkit

The Broad-host-range toolkit (BTK) is a Golden-Gate compatible toolkit of genetic parts designed for working with newly isolated, non-model bacteria. Like the [[http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/sb500366v][yeast toolkit]], it relies on type IIS enzymatic assembly of Type 1-8 parts with defined nucleotide overhangs into complete vectors. The toolkit includes broad-host-range (BHR) promoters and a BHR plasmid backbone that is replicated in diverse Gram-negative and Gram-positive hosts. BTK plasmids possess an origin of transfer (oriT), and can be delivered by conjugation or electroporation. Here we describe example protocols and use cases of the BTK. BTK parts will be deposited and available from Addgene. If you use the BTK parts or these protocols in your work, please cite: <citation>.

---+ BTK Protocols

[[Protocols BTK Design a new part][Design a new part]] Design overhangs for the amplification of a new custom part to be assembled into a part plasmid.

[[Protocols BTK Make a new part plasmid][Assemble a new part plasmid]] Assemble a new custom part plasmid following amplification with part specific overhangs.

[[Protocols BTK Assemble single TU plasmid][Build a first-stage plasmid from existing BTK parts]] If the BTK contains all the parts you need, you can build a complete plasmid with a single BsaI reaction.

[[Protocols BTK Assemble multiple TU plasmid][Build a second-stage plasmid]] Assemble multiple first-stage transcriptional unit plasmids.
