Chemically modified bacterial cells capable of uptaking DNA from the environment via transformation. Competent cultures of E. coli are used in the lab for various procedures including cloning, protein expression, and genetic library creation.
MC1061/P3 Chemically Competent E. coli are used for highly efficient transformations that require the P3 episome for selection and maintenance of vectors encoding the tyrosine tRNA suppressor (synthetic supF gene, such as pCDM8, pcDNA1.1, or any other supF-containing vector).
