Multiple cloning sites & restriction enzymes
Let's explore why cloning vectors need to have a few cloning sites for every restriction enzyme, but multiple cloning sites for multiple enzymes. We will also explore why the same restriction enzymes need to be used for the gene of interest and the cloning vector! Created by Khadijatul Qubra.
