DEFINITION

Classification: 435/474

The polynucleotide is a cosmid:

(under subclass 471) Processes wherein the nucleic acid inserted into the microbial cell is in the form of a cosmid vector.

(1) Note. A cosmid is a DNA vector of a closed circular structure which possesses a cos site of bacteriophage lambda, or the equivalent packaging site of another bacteriophage which uses the headfull mechanism of packaging, and an insert of cloned DNA, where a bacteriophage mechanism of packaging was used to form the initial library of clones.
