Abstract:Summary Single-stranded DNA vectors were constructed in vitro by insertion of various DNA fragments into the Intergenic Region of the single-stranded DNA phage fd. These inserts introduce into the phage genome unique cleavage sites for restriction nucleases which are suited for sticky joining in cloning experiments. Since these sites are usually located within genes coding for antibiotic resistance, inactivation of a resistance gene by insertion can be used as a marker for the successful cloning of a DNA fragment. Resistance genes also allow to select for recombinant DNA phages and to minimize the loss of DNA inserts which otherwise becomes significant above an insert size of about one kb. Cloning of several DNA fragments is described and strand separation of double-stranded DNA fragments by means of cloning into fd DNA is given as an example for application of single-stranded DNA vectors.Abbreviations Ap ampicillin - Cm chloramphenicol - Km kanamycin - Sm streptomycin - kb, kbp a unit length equivalent to 1000 bases, respectively 1000 base pairs - wt wild type
