Abstract
The present invention is a group of cloning vector plasmids for use in constructing DNA molecules, such as transgenes, for the purpose of gene expression or analysis of gene expression. The present invention is also a method for using the cloning vector plasmids in a variable series of cloning steps to produce a final transgene product. The plasmid cloning vectors are engineered to minimize the amount of manipulation of DNA fragment components by the end user of the vectors and the methods for their use. Transgenes produced using the invention may be used in a single organism, or in a variety of organisms including bacteria, yeast, mice, and other eukaryotes with little or no further modification.
