Summary Integrating vectors often for tandem inserts Some streptomycetes lack a perfect BB, and insertion occurs into multiple, secondary bbs This can be important if experiments need to be reproducible.
Complementation: testing whether a mutation of a particular gene causes the observed phenotype. E.g. does a gene knockout have a polar effect on downstream genesin an operon? mRNA
Mutant phenotype Wild-type phenotype ? integrated or on plasmid Can we be sure that the downstream gene is not involved ?
homogenotization homo-geno-tization up to 5% !! and How can we prove that complementation was correct?
