I cloned my insert into pENTR vector using TOP10 competent cells. Now I have my plasmid (pENTR+insert) and would like to amplify this plasmid. So I just want to do a regular heat shock transformation, culture the bacteria and do miniprep. This time do I still have to use TOP10 cells that came in with the kit? Can I use a regular strain such as DH5a?
