A procedure for rapid restriction mapping of cosmid or lambda phage clones has been developed. The mapping of cosmid is based on linearization of circular cosmid DNA in vitro by the phage lambda terminase. Partial digestion products are selectively labelled at the right or left cos cohesive termini by hybridization with [32P] oligonucleotides complementary to the single-strand cos end. After gel electrophoresis and autoradiography, the restriction map can be directly determined from the "ladder" of partial digestion products of cosmid or lambda clones with computer program or by hand.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010582	Bacteriophage lambda	A temperate inducible phage and type species of the genus lambda-like viruses, in the family SIPHOVIRIDAE. Its natural host is E. coli K12. Its VIRION contains linear double-stranded DNA with single-stranded 12-base 5' sticky ends. The DNA circularizes on infection.	Coliphage lambda,Enterobacteria phage lambda,Phage lambda,lambda Phage
D003001	Cloning, Molecular	The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells.	Molecular Cloning
D003360	Cosmids	Plasmids containing at least one cos (cohesive-end site) of PHAGE LAMBDA. They are used as cloning vehicles.	Cosmid
D004279	DNA, Viral	Deoxyribonucleic acid that makes up the genetic material of viruses.	Viral DNA
D005822	Genetic Vectors	DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.
