Summary Introduction
Various types of vectors are used for cloning purposes such as plasmids, viruses, artificial chromosomes, and cosmids. The use of these cloning vectors is used mainly depending on the length of the DNA sequence to be cloned and the host. The vector containing gene of interest is inserted into the selected host for replication.

- Molecular Biology Question You are working to characterize a novel protein in mice. Analysis shows that high levels of the primary transcript that codes for this protein are found in tissue from the brain, muscle, liver, and pancreas. However, an antibody that recognizes the C-terminal portion of the protein indicates that the protein is present in brain, muscle, and liver, but not in the pancreas. What is the most likely explanation for this result?arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Explain/discuss how “slow stop” and “quick/fast stop” mutants wereused to identify different protein involved in DNA replication in E. coli.arrow_forwardMolecular Biology Question A gene that codes for a protein was removed from a eukaryotic cell and inserted into a prokaryotic cell.
