Vector

Vectors are vehicles for cloning DNA. A vector provides essential sequences for replicating DNA in a host and selection antibiotic markers. Non-essential sequences are deleted to allow room for the cloning of foreign DNA.

A vector (e.g. a plasmid) constructed in such a way that it can replicate in at least two different host species (eg a prokaryote and a eukaryote). A DNA recombined into such a vector can be tested or manipulated in several cell types.
