Abstract

A phagemid was adapted for use as the vector in the vector-primer-cloner-sequencer cloning system. The use of this new vector markedly expanded the utility of this technology for the construction of cDNA libraries. Technological advantages and new capabilities include: (1) a greater number of unique restriction sites within the polylinker region; (2) the ability to produce single-stranded templates for nucleotide sequencing, and (3) a convenient means to synthesize strand-specific hybridization probes. With the use of this cloning system, a rat liver cDNA library (8.56 × 10 5 recombinants from 1 μg of poly(A) +RNA) was rapidly (in two days) constructed.
