Integration of DNA into bacterial chromosomes from plasmids without a counter-selection marker (2012)
Journal Article
Heap, J. T., Ehsaan, M., Cooksley, C. M., Ng, Y.-K., Cartman, S. T., Winzer, K., & Minton, N. P. (2012). Integration of DNA into bacterial chromosomes from plasmids without a counter-selection marker. Nucleic Acids Research, 40(8), Article 10. https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkr1321

Most bacteria can only be transformed with circular plasmids, so robust DNA integration methods for these rely upon selection of single-crossover clones followed by counter-selection of double-crossover clones. To overcome the limited availability of... Read More about Integration of DNA into bacterial chromosomes from plasmids without a counter-selection marker.
