The following points highlight the four main features that are required to facilitate cloning into a vector. The features are: 1. Origin of Replication 2. Selectable Marker 3. Cloning (Recognition) Sites 4. Vectors for Cloning Genes in Plants and Animals. Feature # 1. Origin of Replication (Ori): This is a sequence from where replication starts […]

In this article we will discuss about the three main types of vectors used in cloning for larger molecules of DNA. The types of vectors are: 1. Plasmid Vectors 2. Bacteriophage Vectors 3. Cosmid Vectors. 1. Plasmid Vectors: Plasmids are the extra chromosomal genetic elements commonly found in bacteria and are mostly made of double-stranded […]
