Moclo is a type of cloning strategy that attempts to standardize the assembly of multiple DNA parts into finished constructs or 'devices'. The basic cloning method relies on the fact that typeIIs restriction enzymes cut outside their sequence of recognition. Unlike traditional restriction cloning, this means there is no chance that ligated pieces can be cut again by the same enzyme. This also gives you complete freedom in choosing the four base-pair sticky end, and allows multiple specific ligations to be accomplished with only one restriction enzyme.

In order to take full advantage of the modularity and ease of use, one must spend significant time "domesticating" DNA parts by removing extra restriction sites and placing them into appropriate vectors which contain the typeIIs restriction sites in the right orientation. This work has been done by many labs (with equally many sticky end overhang standards).
