Plasmid and Phagemid cloning vector - Selectable vs. Screening marker

References/Resources:   / the_crux  

This video discusses the general biology of cloning vectors focusing on plasmids and phagemids. We discuss how plasmids replicate, their general properties, diversity, origins, and many other important details. This will also help you understand the evolution of cloning vectors from a standard Plasmid to Phagemid. This video also provides you with a conceptual framework of selectable and screening markers, discussed with examples.
