Host Strain Information:
The XL1- Blue MRF' strain is the recommended host strain for amplification and screening of this Uni-Zap XR cDNA library. The XL1-Blue MRF' strain is a restriction minus strain recommended for plating unamplified libraries, amplifying and screening libraries and allows blue/white color selection of recombinant clones when grown on plates containing IPTG and X-gal.
The bacterial stock is stored and streaked on LB-tet plates and grown as O/N cultures in the absence of tetracycline.

Genotype:
