Compatibility of PCANTAB5E and M13cp-CT

azim58 - Compatibility of PCANTAB5E and M13cp-CT

see Two Plasmids One E coli for more information

Compatibility of My Origins of Replication
PCANTAB5E: F1 origin of replication
M13cp-CT: based on M13mp19 plasmid which has the F1 origin of replication

If both plasmids truly do have the F1 origin of replication, then they

are not compatible.

I suppose I could order primers and use PCR to check for sure.
If it does have the F1 origin of replication, I would need to replace it

with a different origin of replication somehow.

To check if my M13cp-CT and M13cp plasmids really do have this sequence I
will need to do a colony PCR.
