The life cycle of
lambda phages is controlled by cI and Cro
proteins. The
lambda phage will remain in the lysogenic state if cI
proteins predominate, but will be
transformed into the
lytic cycle if cro
proteins predominate.

bacteria phage &
lambda; (
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.

restriction digests of
Lambda phage DNA along with the complete
Lambda genome.

plasmids in the
host cell, but are
inserted into the bacterium from
lambda phage infectious particles, since
transformation would be extremely inefficient with
plasmids of this size.

clone (
plasmid in a
bacteria, or maybe a
lambda phage in
bacteria) which is designed to produce a
protein from the
DNA insert.

packaged in
lambda phageparticles for infection into
Escherichia coli; this permits
cloning of larger
DNA fragments (up to 45 kb) than can be introduced into
bacterial hosts in
plasmid vectors.

Cos sites are recognized during head filling of

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).

If on different
strands, an
