Dear all,
I was creating a site-saturation mutagenesis library for one site using inverse PCR based on the paper (Zheng, 2004). PCR reaction was performed using Q5 or Phusion DNA polymerase and the host cells were E.coli H5α competent cells. The plasmids extracted from transformants were sent for sequencing, which revealed that there were multiple undesired forward primer sequences successively inserted next to the primer in almost all the resulting plasmids. Did anyone have such experience or could someone offer some ideas? Any help would be highly appreciated.
The forward primer: GATACCGCACCGnnkTATGGCATGGGTCTGAGTGAAC
The reverse primer: GACCCATGCCATAmnnCGGTGCGGTATCAAAGTAGC
Best regards,
