Expression Vector At Biology Glossary
What is it? A cloning vector designed so that a foreign gene inserted into the vector will be expressed in the host organism. The inserted DNA is often placed under the control of a strong, regulatable promoter (e.g. the lacZ or araBAD promoter) so that expression of the gene product will only occur when desired.Bio Definition Added By: Claire
