Prevalence of errors in lab-made plasmids across the globe

Xingjian Bai, Jack F. Hong, Shan Yu, David Y. Hu, Amy Y. Chen, Constance A. Rich, Silk J. Shi, Sandy Y. Xu, Daniel M. Croucher, Kristofer Joseph Mussar, Daniel W. Meng, Jane L. Chen, Bruce T. Lahn

The paper surveys lab-made plasmids globally and finds nearly half contain errors, with 40% of transfer plasmids having mutations in ITR regions due to instability.
