Cosmid

A hybrid plasmid that contains cos sites at each end. Cos sites are recognized during head filling of lambda phages. Cosmids are useful for cloning large segments of foreign DNA (up to 50 kb).

COSMID - A genetically-engineered plasmid containing bacteriophage lambda packaging signals and potentially very large pieces of inserted foreign DNA (up to 50 kb) which can be replicated in bacterial cells.

Cosmid
A cloning vector consisting of the phage lambda cos site inserted into a plasmid. Such vectors can be packaged into lambda phage or maintained as plasmids. Cosmids are often used to clone large DNA fragments (up to about 40 kilobases).

Cosmid: A type of artificially constructed vector used for cloning 35-45 kb of DNA. These are plasmids carrying a phage l cos site (which allows packaging into l capsids), an origin of replication and an antibiotic resistance gene.

Cosmids -- plasmid vectors designed for cloning large fragments of eukaryotic DNA; the vector is a plasmid into which phage lambda cohesive end sites have been inserted. CpG islands -- areas of multiple CG repeats in DNA.

Cosmid An artificial hybrid vector into which large (~40kbp) DNA fragments can be inserted; this makes it useful in genomic library preparation.

A segment of a bacterial genome, as a cosmid clone, has been identified by complementation as containing a functional gene. The precise location of the gene on the cosmid is not known.
The cosmid and a source of Tn5 are put into an E. coli cell.
