New method for large-scale preparation of covalently closed lambda DNA molecules.

R Reuben, M Gefter, L Enquist

    Journal of Virology
    |November 1, 1974
    PubMed
    Summary

    Researchers developed a new system using bacteriophage lambda and E. coli K-12 to easily isolate large amounts of circular DNA. This method simplifies the preparation of lambda DNA in its double-stranded circular form.
