Abstract

Provided are: a selection method for a gene switch and a gene circuit, including using, as a selector, an expression vector containing at least a gene sequence whose expression is controlled by a transcription regulatory factor to be expressed when a genetic switch and a genetic circuit including the genetic switch operate, and a promoter sequence operably linked to the gene sequence upstream thereof; and an expression vector to be used in the selection method. This enables an effective selection method for a genetic switch and a genetic circuit, the selection method being able to be conducted within a short time period and with high selection efficiency and less leakiness.
