Which Plasmid is It?
Each month IMMEX will highlight a problem set that has significant research data and/or potential.
You need to use molecular biology techniques to determine which plasmid is in the container. From your lab book and invoices you know what the possible plasmids are.
While using the provided "Student Guide", the student takes notes on the various characteristics of the particular plasmid, including antibiotic resistance and restriction sites. Using data from the digests the student puts together a profile of the plasmid and uses an elimination strategy to determine the solution to the problem.
