1, 2, 3 |
To facilitate cloning into a vector, following features are required: 1. Origin of replication- a sequence from where replication is initiated 2. selectable marker- the vector requires a selectable marker that helps in identifying and eliminating non-transformants. Normally, the genes encoding for antibiotic resistance genes are considered useful. 3. Cloning sitesS- In order to link the alien DNA, the vector needs to have very few, preferably single recognition sites for the commonly used restriction enzymes. |
