λET-CLONE Vector

The λET-CLONE vector, functioning as a bacteriophage lambda insertion vector, has found extensive application in genetic engineering and biotechnology due to its unique features and benefits. The λET-CLONE vector's stellar efficiency in cloning is primarily driven by its design. This cloning strategy stands out in its ability to handle large DNA fragments, thereby proving advantageous in constructing genomic DNA libraries or cDNA libraries. By allowing researchers to clone and manipulate large fragments of DNA, it opens up the potential for research into larger genomes, offering a novel dimension of genetic study and modification. The λET-CLONE vector also provides a simplified yet effective means of screening target genes. By incorporating high-density plaque lifts, quick and hassle-free screening is possible, expediting the identification and isolation of desirable alleles or genetic sequences. This is particularly beneficial in large scale genomics studies where high throughput screening is necessary. Lastly, λET-CLONE's versatility extends to its ability to allow for screening of libraries for expressed polypeptides. Whilst conventional nucleic acid probes are used in screening genetic libraries, the λET-CLONE vector facilitates the use of antibodies or ligands for screening, broadening the scope of potential alternates. This valuable flexibility not only supports a broader range of studies but also enhances the accuracy of positive selection.
