* Assembled products are treated with T5 exonuclease followed by PCR. Only covalently sealed products resistant to T5 exonuclease digestion can serve as templates for PCR and yield PCR product.
+++ Performs best; recommended
++ Performs well; but other product(s) perform better
+ Performs, but not recommended
X Does not perform
NP Experiment not performed
