Dear all,

I have been trying to gateway clone two genes, both around 3.2kb in size. However, I am running into a peculiar issue where my colony PCR is positive but once I isolate the plasmid, the insert is not there. For both genes this issue is coming up after the BP reaction transformation. I am using pDONR221. I have also set up a control PCR with my gene primers and pDONR to see if there was any non specific binding but that is not the case. I had previously cloned a 1.2kb gene in the same vector so I am wondering if this is an issue due to the size of the genes.
