The first breakthrough is that it eliminates the requirement to clone DNA fragments into bacteria. Consequently, the Genome Sequencer FLX avoids the cloning bias that is introduced in sample ...

Engineering the replication of target DNA through cloning, or changing its genetic code through mutations ... plasmid and bacteriophage constructions.” A particularly useful application of ...

Students isolate novel bacteriophage from the environment and characterize those phage using current research techniques including electron microscopy and DNA analysis. The genomic DNA from some of ...

We selected phages that can infect it, sequenced their genomic DNA, and found an interesting ... began by examining the genes encoded in this bacteriophage and how they differ from those of ...
