Abstract
Fragments of DNA from derivatives of phage λ having either one or two targets for R.EcoRI have been joined in new combinations to give biologically active phage genomes. These include two classes of deletion mutants; in one, only the DNA between the targets is deleted, but in the second the deletions are more extensive. Other fragments of DNA have been inserted into these phage chromosomes.
