Abstract excerpt
We describe a fast and simple method for signature-tagged mutagenesis (STM) using defined oligonucleotides for tag construction into mini-Tn5 and PCR instead of hybridization for rapid screening of bacterial mutants in vivo. A collection of 12 unique 21-mers were synthesized as complementary DNA strands to tag bacterial mutants constructed by insertional mutagenesis using pUTmini-Tn5Km2 plasmids. Tags were tested...
