Bacterial cloning of plasmids carrying copies of rabbit globin messenger RNA

Abstract

DNA copies of rabbit globin mRNA have been inserted into the plasmid mini-ColE1. After addition of poly(dT) tails, the plasmid was used to prime the copying of mRNA by reverse transcriptase. Mini-ColE1 carrying globin sequences were denatured and annealed with mini-ColE1 tailed with poly(dA). Functional plasmids containing the synthesised globin sequences were isolated by transfection in E. coli.
