Description:The Deletion Kit for Kilo-Sequencing is designed to aid sequence analysis of long DNA fragments cloned into the multiple cloning sites (MCS) of M13 phage vectors (mp18/19) or pUC-related plasmid or phagemid vectors (pUC18/19). The kit is used to create nested unidirectional deletions in the target DNA, thereby progressively moving the primer binding site on the vector closer to the sequence of in...10-Kilo Tumor Removed From Cancer Patient
