Rapid Assembly of yeast expression cassettes for phenylpropanoid biosynthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Microbial production of natural products using metabolic engineering and synthetic biology approaches often involves the assembly of multiple gene fragments including regulatory elements, especially when using eukaryotes as hosts. Traditional cloning strategy using restriction enzyme digestion and l...
