Does QIAGEN offer vectors for direct cloning of PCR products?
QIAGEN offers the pDrive Cloning Vector for direct cloning of PCR products. The vector is supplied prelinearized with a 3'-U overhang. This U overhang hybridizes with high specificity to the 3'-A overhang of PCR products generated by Taq and other non-proofreading DNA polymerases. The pDrive Cloning vector is a component of the QIAGEN PCR Cloning Kit, and has several features designed to facilitate analysis of cloned PCR products.
