(A) QC trace for a DNA library build. There is a peak at ~ 350 base pairs, indicating successful library build. If some larger DNA was detected in the QC results, the samples can be cleaned up further to remove large DNA fragments. (B) Plasmid pJNW684 consists of a Himar1 mariner transposon (green) with a kanamycin resistance cassette (purple) for mutant selection, a gene encoding the hyperactive mariner Himar1 C9 transposase (red) under control of an A. baumannii 17978 specific promoter (blue), an ampicillin resistance gene (bla, orange) and a RP4/oriT/oriR6K-conditional origin of replication (yellow).
