Platzhaltersequenzen
Platzhaltersequenzen, often translated as placeholder sequences, are specific DNA or RNA sequences used in molecular biology and genetic engineering. They serve as temporary markers or locations within a larger genetic construct. These sequences do not typically encode functional proteins but are designed to be easily recognized and manipulated by molecular tools.
Their primary function is to facilitate the assembly of complex genetic designs. For example, in the construction
Placeholder sequences are also employed in gene synthesis and directed evolution. They can be used to introduce
The design and selection of placeholder sequences are crucial for the efficiency and success of genetic engineering
