Note that there are discrepancies between Addgene's quality control sequence and the sequence provided by the Ron lab. These discrepancies should not affect the function of the plasmid, but they have changed some of the restriction sites in the MCS. Please proceed cautiously when doing diagnostic digests or subcloning.
