Notes on M13 Renovation

M13 genome

1. Overlapping regions:
   • g2 and g10 (496-831)
   • g9 and g8 (1301-1304)
   • g7 and g9 (1206-1209)
   • g1 and g11 (3916-4242) – g11 is contained in g1, share STOP codon
   • g1, g4, and g11 (4220-4242)
2. Independent genes:
   • g3, g5, g6

Restriction enzymes used
