Physical arrangement of suppressor-sensitive mutations of Bacillus phage M2 (original) (raw)
Summary
The order of the fragments derived from bacteriophage M2 DNA by digesting it with restriction endonucleases _Xba_1, _Hind_III, and _Eco_RI has been determined. The locus of each representative mutation in 13 cistrons of the M2 genome has been determined by transfection/marker rescue with the individual restriction enzyme-digested fragments derived from wild-type M2 DNA.
