...complementary DNA (cDNA), and then use PCR and molecular cloning to insert the cDNA into the desired plasmid backbone...experiments in planarians with their recent plasmid deposit.
These plasmids enable two main types of experiments... cloned into plasmids to investigate for each of these planarian species.
These plasmids all have a PR-T4...dsRNA. Students can produce DNA templates via PCR off of the same plasmid and use these to create riboprobes...off of linearized DNA templates which they can easily generate off of a circular plasmid via PCR. Typically...Resources at Addgene.org

Find plasmids for other developmental models...of specific gene expression.
The 49 deposited plasmids enable students to study gene expression and functions...
