entry number 320  Database Description  UniVec is a non-
redundant database of sequences commonly attached to cDNA or
genomic DNA during the cloning process. This database is
intended to be used for screening nucleic acid sequences for
vector contamination. UniVec primarily consists of the unique
segments from a large number of vectors but also includes many
linker, adapter and primer sequences. Redundant sub-sequences
have been eliminated from the database to make searches more
efficient and to simplify interpretation of the results.
