Abstract

A simple method for generating phage collections representing eukaryotic genomes has been developed by using a novel bacteriophage lambda vector, lambda 1059. The phage is a BamHI substitution vector that accommodates DNA fragments 6-24 kilobases long. Production of recombinants in lambda 1059 requires deletion of the lambda red and gamma genes. The recombinants are therefore spi- and may be separated from the spi+ vector phages by plating on strains lysogenic for bacteriophage P2. Random fragments suitable for insertion into lambda 1059 are obtained by partial digestion of high molecular weight eukaryotic DNA with Sau3a. This restriction enzyme cleaves at the sequence G-A-T-C and leaves a 5'-tetranucleotide "sticky end." Because G-A-T-C extensions are also produced by BamHI cleavage, these fragments may be annealed directly to BamHI-cleaved lambda 1059. By using these methods, a set of clones covering the entire Caenorhabditis elegans genome was constructed. DNA segments which include the unc-54 myosin heavy chain gene have been isolated from this collection.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
