Lambda phage
Enterobacteria phage λ (lambda phage) is a temperate phage that lives in E. coli. Once the phage is inside its host, it may integrate itself into the host's DNA.

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.

Lambda kills bacteria instantly, he reasoned; I'll try the experiment over with something that will slowly kill the bacteria to see if, given a chance, bacteria can direct their mutations.
