Question

what are the functions of shuttle vector?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Shuttle vectors can be used in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Shuttle vectors are frequently used to quickly make multiple copies of the gene in E. coli (amplification). They can also be used for in vitro experiments and modifications such as mutagenesis and PCR.

Answer 2

$\huge{\mathfrak{\overbrace{\underbrace{\green{ANSWER}}}}}$

A shuttle vector is a vector (usually a plasmid) constructed so that it can propagate in two different host species. Therefore, DNA inserted into a shuttle vector can be tested or manipulated in two different cell types. The main advantage of these vectors is they can be manipulated in E. coli, then used in a system which is more difficult or slower to use (e.g. yeast).

Shuttle vectors include plasmids that can propagate in eukaryotes and prokaryotes (e.g. both Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli) or in different species of bacteria (e.g. both E. coli and Rhodococcus erythropolis). There are also adenovirus shuttle vectors, which can propagate in E. coli and mammals.

A shuttle vector is a vector that can propagate in two different host species, hence, inserted DNA can be tested or manipulated in two different cell types. The main advantage of these vectors is that they can be manipulated in E. coli and then used in a system which is more difficult or slower to use.
