Iz. Zubrzycki et Hh. Klump, GENES LEAVE THEIR CHARACTERISTIC MARKS ON THE MELTING PROFILE OF PLASMID DNAS, Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. C, A journal of biosciences, 50(9-10), 1995, pp. 652-655
High resolution melting profiles of four linearised plasmids (pUC9, pG
V403, pHP2, and pBR322) were recorded by means of UV absorbance vs. te
perature scaning. The set of transitions obtained for each plasmid are
compared to each another and to the transitions obtained for their ex
cised particular antibiotica resistance gene. It can be shown that eac
h gene leaves a charactersitic mark on the melting profile of its pare
ntal plasmid.
