DEFINITION

Classification: 435/91.4

Modification or preparation of a recombinant DNA vector:

(under subclass 91.1) Processes involving the insertion, deletion, addition, or substitution of a nucleotide or nucleotides in an already existing vector or involving the creation of a new vector.

(1) Note. A vector is a DNA sequence (e.g., a plasmid, cosmid, a viral or phage DNA, etc.) which is able to replicate autonomously in a host cell.

(2) Note. Examples of processes intended for this and the indented subclasses include cleaving a plasmid followed by adding onto the plasmid a piece of nucleic acid and then ligating the plasmid; linearizing and then ligating two plasmids together; culturing cells and isolating vectors from them, etc.
