About the USER Virtual Lab Simulation
In the Uracil-excision (USER) Cloning lab, you will learn about the principles of the Uracil-excision based cloning. You will design specific primers, perform the PCR, and use specific reagents to clone three genes of the Beta-carotene production pathway into an Escherichia coli strain, in order to start the compound’s production in a cell factory. In addition, you will learn how to solve common issues that can arise when using this technique. Will you be able to insert the genes correctly into the desired plasmid?
