On the mystery of transformation of E. coli: If I expose competent cells to a
mixture of different constructs (i.e., a ligation reaction that will contain
religands and vector with insert), how do I always get 'monoclonal' colonies (I
never observe preps containing religand AND vector with insert, although each of
them can show up separately)? Thanks.
