Change origin of a plasmid - (Nov/02/2010 )

Hi,

can I simply change a origin of replication from one plasmid by cutting the old one out and insert a new one from another plasmid?
Can I even change antibiotic resistance or must I regard something special to not disturb the plasmid structure?


Thanks in advance

It's all just DNA. Do it.

Changing antibiotic resistance is not a big deal. when u change the origin of replication, take care of the upstream and downstream of the gene,it may interfer in the replication.

Wow,
this will be definitely another classical inspirational quote for molecular biologist after Nike's "Just do it".
