title: Gene manipulation by homologous recombination in Escherichia coli.
abstract: The use of homologous recombination in Escherichia coli is described as a tool for DNA manipulation. The utility of the method is illustrated by the addition of 3'-flanking sequences to a dhfr minigene by plasmid-phage recombination involving a supF-containing dhfr minigene plasmid and a lambda Charon4A phage containing the 3' end of the dhfr gene. In addition, other uses of both plasmid-phage and phage-phage recombination in gene manipulation are described.
