ABSTRACT:
Polynucleotides and vectors comprising an expressible nucleic acid flanked by a 5′ extended methylation-free CpG island and a 3′ selectable marker element are disclosed. Such polynucleotides and vectors provide a means for obtaining high levels of expression of the flanked expressible nucleic acid. Preferred embodiments include combinations of 5′ extended methylation-free CpG islands and 3′ antibiotic resistance genes.
