A library of bacteriophage P1 DNA was constructed in the phage vector lambda D69. The DNA of some 150 randomly chosen lambda-P1 hybrid phages containing P1 DNA fragments 5-10 kb in size was analyzed by restriction endonuclease digestion using enzymes EcoRI, BglII, and BamHI that cleave P1 DNA at known positions on the physical map of P1. Approximately one third of the phages contained P1 DNA inserts having two or more restriction sites for any one of these enzymes, thus allowing the location of the insert to be determined with respect to the physical map. Genetic tests allowed detection of lambda-P1 hybrid phages possessing inserts with functional P1 ban and CmR genes. A subset of 18 phages was analyzed in more detail; their P1 DNA inserts comprise an ordered collection of overlapping P1 DNA fragments that cover almost 98% of the P1 genome.

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
D002874 Chromosome Mapping Any method used for determining the location of and relative distances between genes on a chromosome. Gene Mapping,Linkage Mapping,Genome Mapping,Chromosome Mappings,Gene Mappings,Genome Mappings,Linkage Mappings,Mapping, Chromosome,Mapping, Gene,Mapping, Genome,Mapping, Linkage,Mappings, Chromosome,Mappings, Gene,Mappings, Genome,Mappings, Linkage
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.
