The kit used depends on the phage’s genome type, if it is linear DNA, we recommend the myTXTL Linear DNA kit or myTXTL T7 Expression Kit if you need to express accessory proteins. If circular DNA or RNA, any of our kits could be used, keeping in mind that non-E. coli phages may require the addition of their host’s primary transcription factor (SigA/Sigma70) or other accessory proteins to enable replication (see Emslander et al. 2022).
