title: Lambda as a cloning vector.
abstract: Advantages of lambda as a cloning vector are discussed along with considerations for the insert DNA (i.e., size, spi and hfl state). Maps of lambda-derived cloning vectors are provided in addition to a discussion and map of a cosmid (a lambda-derived plasmid vector).
