Bacterial Genomics
The study of the morphological, physiological, and evolutionary aspects of the bacterial genome is referred to as bacterial genomics. This subdisciplinary field aids in understanding how genes are assembled into genomes. Further, bacterial or microbial g…

Plasmids and Vectors
The DNA molecule that exists in a circular shape and is smaller in size which is capable of its replication is called Plasmids. In other words, it is called extra-chromosomal plasmid DNA. Vectors are the molecule which is capable of carrying genetic mate…
Question

How do you know if you’re purified plasmids contain your mutation? Why or why not?

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1 Introduction:

Purified plasmids often contain mutations that were not intended by the researcher. To determine if a plasmid contains a mutation, the researcher can use a method called DNA sequencing. DNA sequencing is a process of determining the order of nucleotides in a piece of DNA. This process can be used to identify mutations in a piece of DNA.
