Abstract Using newly designed computational tools we show that despite substantial shared sequences between natural plasmids and artificial vector sequences a robust set of DNA oligomers can be identified that can differentiate artificial vector sequences from all available background viral and bacterial genomes and natural plasmids. We predict that these tools can achieve very high sensitivity and specificity rates for detecting new unsequenced vectors in microarray-based bioassays. Such DNA signatures could be important in detecting genetically engineered bacteria in environmental samples. Background Synthetic vector sequences are of fundamental importance in molecular biology. Cloning and expression vectors are among a multitude of synthetic sequence types commonly used as part of a basic tool set for DNA amplification and protein production 1 . As the emerging maturity of synthetic biology research fast approaches 2 it is reasonable to imagine in the not too distant future the broad-scale manufacture of sophisticated synthetic plasmids to modify existing bacteria and possibly the construction of new functioning synthetic genomes 3 .
