Main Results:

  • The novel MCS incorporate a central zone with unique restriction sites flanked by directly repeated sites.
  • These vectors enable insertion of fragments with identical or different restriction ends.
  • The system successfully retains XGal blue-white selection and pUC plasmid sequencing functionalities.

Conclusions:

  • The developed vectors offer enhanced flexibility for DNA fragment insertion and recovery.
  • These novel vectors are valuable tools for molecular cloning, genetic manipulation, and DNA sequencing applications.
  • The design preserves key features of pUC plasmids, making them compatible with existing protocols.
