Restriction enzyme cutting site in pRARE plasmid .

08 August 2017 1 1K Report

Dear All,

Does anyone know the sequence of p-RARE plasmid or any unique restriction enzyme cut site just to confirm that the plasmid I have isolated is a right one? I have gone through few publications and it says pARE has a Aval cut site, but ,unfortunately, we do not have any Aval in our lab. Any advice?

Thanks in Advance
