Cloning of repetitive sequence of DNA

Postby kedardm » Dec 14 2009 4:36 am

I wish to clone a repetitive sequence of DNA into a plasmid vector. What mutation in the E.coli genome would ensure successful maintenance of this DNA sequence in E.Coli?

Try use E. coli strain such as "SURE" for cloning difficult sequences.

racA1, a deletion in this gene would allow an E.coli to maintain direct repetitive sequences. You can use SURE, I routinely use Stbl-2 cells from Invitrogen.
