Abstract excerpt
We have constructed a cloning vector with a tight positive selection for recombinant clones in Escherichia coli. The positive selection pressure results from a lethal mutation within the E. coli gene coding for the catabolite gene activator protein CAP, which is disrupted whenever a fragment is s...
