DNA ligase will join the molecules at their annealed cohesive ends. DNA ligase + ATP pBR322 lux operon 5’ TCGA TCGA AGCT 5’ AGCT DNA ligase + ATP
Transform ligated DNA into E. coli. Select ampicillin-resistant colonies. Only circular molecules survive; RecBCD nuclease destroys linear DNA. Transformants contain vector or vector + lux(either orientation).
