Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) DNA was cleaved with restriction endonuclease EcoRI, and most of the resulting fragments were successfully cloned in the phage vector lambda gtWES . lambda B. Double digestions of cloned fragments with EcoRI and BamHI and hybridizations to blot-transferred BamHI digests of VZV DNA were used to construct a physical map of the genome. The molecular termini of the DNA were identified by restriction enzyme analysis after exonuclease III digestion. The data indicate that VZV DNA exists in two isomeric forms that differ by inversion of one short terminal genome segment. Electron microscopic studies revealed that the short genome segment consists of a terminal revealed that the short genome segment consists of a terminal sequence of about 3.4 X 10(6) daltons that is separated from an internal inverted repeat of itself by a 5.8 X 10(60)-dalton unique DNA segment.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

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
D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
