Genetic recombination and complementation between bacteriophage T7 and cloned fragments of T7 DNA

Journal Article · · Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.; (United States)
Fragments of phage T7 DNA have been cloned in Escherichia coli by using the plasmid pMB9. Such cloned fragments are able to recombine with infecting phages, thus providing a means to integrate the physical and genetic maps of T7 DNA. Approximately 65% of the T7 DNA molecule has been found in clones so far, and analysis of these clones has mapped genes 12-17 with an accuracy of about 1% the total length of T7 DNA. At least some cloned segments can supply T7 functions to infecting phages.
