Resource Information

  • Supplemental Documents
  • A portion of this plasmid was derived from a plasmid made by
    We obtained the original pUltra backbone from Prof. Abhishek Chatterjee who originally designed the plasmid while a post-doc with Pete Schultz. We inserted the genes through Gibson assembly with a synthetic DNA fragment (gblock).
