Constructing a Recombinant Plasmid
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
This procedure traces building one recombinant DNA molecule, from cutting a foreign DNA fragment and a plasmid with the same restriction endonuclease through to a sealed, ligated vector.
Watch for
Ligation only succeeds where two sticky ends are complementary — a plasmid and a fragment cut with different, non-matching restriction endonucleases will not anneal correctly.
