And A Modern Vector Was Born
Welcome to Modern Vector, a new way to think about molecular biology! So often molecular biology is secondary, a means, not an end, and driven by what is available. We take a plasmid, insert our gene of interest for expression and move on to the next step. There has been a great deal of effort to optimize the sequence of the cDNA, but what about optimizing the vector itself?
The original vectors were derived in the 1970’s, ground breaking work, to be sure, paving the way for biotechnology as a discipline. However, now 40 years later, it is time to revisit these workhorses of yesteryear. It is time for a Modern Vector.
All too often, the plasmid is the last thing considered in an experiment. Maybe you have your favorite, maybe you have to use a proprietary vector, and maybe it was what you have in the freezer? Whatever the limitation, now there is a new choice, a powerful choice and once you experience it, the ONLY choice.
