In a plasmid maxi prep, many a times, nicked circular species are isolated apart from supercoiled. Can this nick be rejoined by incubating the prep with ligase? I know it won't increase supercoiled plasmid per se, but, can it be used to at least eliminate the nicked plasmids? Will it be safe to use?
