Abstract

We have cloned DNA restriction fragments from the largely nonessential region of bacteriophage T4 located between genes 39 and 56. The cloned DNA fragments were used to construct a precise map of the sites in this region recognized by eight restriction endonucleases. This restriction map allowed us to compare the cytosine-containing T4 DNA used for cloning with the hydroxymethylcytosine-containing DNA of wild-type T4; there were no detectable rearrangements in the region tested. We were also able to determine the physical locations of several deletion end points and of several genes.
