Abstract excerpt
A 641-bp cos-containing P2 DNA fragment was sequenced and compared to the P4 cos region. Alignment of the P2 and P4 cos regions shows a homologous region of 55 bp that has only three mismatches and contains a completely conserved region of dyad symmetry. A number of P4- and P2-derived cosmids were tested in an in vivo transduction assay in order to determine the minimal cos region required for packaging. These...
