Revised interpretation of the origin of the pSC101 plasmid

J Bacteriol. 1977 Nov;132(2):734-7. doi: 10.1128/jb.132.2.734-737.1977.

Abstract

Data are presented indicating that the pSC101 plasmid was not derived by recircularization of a mechanically sheared fragment of R6-5 plasmid deoxyribonucleic acid, as was originally believed.
