M13-plasmid vectors are often used. Which of the following is not a feature for this?
Explanation
ExplanationM13-plasmid vector hybridization is often used and they are referred to as phagemid, phasmid or plage. Replication can take place either by the origin of replication of the plasmid or by the origin of replication of M13. Replication from M13 requires additional protein to be provided from helper phage. Single-stranded DNA is produced after replication and is packaged in a protein coat. Some of the examples of this type of hybridization are pUC 118, 119 and 120.
