- (genetics) a large vector that is made from a bacteriophage and used to clone genes or gene fragments
- A cosmid, first described by Collins and Hohn in 1978, is a type of hybrid plasmid (often used as a cloning vector) that contains cos sequences, DNA sequences originally from the Lambda phage. Cosmids can be used to build genomic libraries.
- (Cosmids) Vehicles that are used to separate out discrete sections of the DNA for cloning purposes. These vehicles contain bacterial phage lambda DNA to allow them to make copies of themselves in their bacterial host and also DNA fragments of about 40,000 base pairs from the source being studied.
- A type of cloning vector derived from bacteriophage lambda. A cosmid can carry about 40 kb of foreign DNA.
- Artificially constructed cloning vector containing the cos gene of phage lambda. Cosmids can be packaged in lambda phage particles for infection into E. coli; this permits cloning of larger DNA fragments (up to 45 kb) than can be introduced into bacterial hosts in plasmid vectors.
- An artificial cloning vector (40-50kb of DNA) that can be replicated inside E. coli bacteria.
- A plasmid into which has been inserted the cos site of bacteriophage. (16)
- DNA from a bacterial virus into which is spliced a small fragment of a genome to be amplified and sequenced. A cosmid is an artificially constructed structure. ...
- A DNA molecule with cos ends from lambda-bacteriophage that can be packaged in vitro into a virus for infection purposes .
