I recently found a phenomenon that I was working on genetic engineering. the plasmid vector was cut with notI and xbaI, and the insert segment PCR is also flanked by these two sites. but there is a TGA right in front of 3' xbaI. so the insert is in this format:
notI---GOI---TGAtctaga (xbaI:tctaga)
genetic engineering was successful and positive colonies confirmed. However after this, I found the xbaI site is no longer cutable. even weird is that, my sequence reading software stops detecting the xbaI site, even tho- the xbaI sequence is right there. (and you can try put TGATCTAGA into your own sequence software it probably wont recognize xbaI)
I wonder if the TGA somehow disrupted the xbaI cutting ability, or any other property I havent heard about xbaI that causes this?
