How to confirm the site-directed mutagenesis result without performing NGS?

I'm cloning a fragment of 3200 nts into plasmid. The cloning was successful, however, 02 amino acids were mutated. Now I want to fix these 02 aa by site-directed mutagenesis technique using...

Why did the authors extrapolate a phenotype that they experimentally proved in one bacterial strain across the whole genus of the organism?

I aim to be as skeptical as possible regarding whether a pair of orthologous genes results in the same phenotype in their different but related bacterial organisms under similar environmental...

Are you referring to cloning a gene as in inserting a gene into a new DNA plasmid or vector?

Vineetha Kudala

DNA cloning is a molecular biology technique that makes many identical copies of a piece of DNA, such as a gene. In a typical cloning experiment, a target gene is inserted into a circular piece of DNA called a plasmid Hint: The insertion of a gene into the plasmid is known as gene cloning, which takes place to insert a specific gene into the plasmid vector for its transformation.
