Hi,
Recently I performed a Y2H screen using Clontechs MMIII Library
construction and screening kit. In this system a library of your choice
is constructed and propagated in a yeast strain by homologous
recombination. I would like to be able to shuttle this library to a
bacterial strain but fear that the low copy number of library plasmids
derived from a "mass" yeast plasmid prep and subsequent difficulties in
successfully transforming competent bacteria, would result in a less
than satisfactory library representation. To overcome this would it be
possible to transform a suitable bacteria strain with the linearised
vector and dscDNA library inserts? Does anyone know of a bacterial
strain that can perform homologous recombination? Or is this just a
process that occurs in yeast?
Thankyou
