Abstract excerpt
Silencing of the lacZ gene in Escherichia coli was attempted by means of the expression of antisense RNAs (asRNAs) in vivo. A short fragment of lacZ was cloned into the pBAD expression vector, in reverse orientation, using the EcoRI and PstI restriction sites. This construct (pBAD-Zcal1) was used to transform E. coli cells, and the antisense transcription was induced simply by adding arabinose to the culture...
