Application of long-distance PCR to restriction site mapping of a cloned DNA fragment on the lambda EMBL3 phage vector

Biosci Biotechnol Biochem. 1996 Jun;60(6):1011-3. doi: 10.1271/bbb.60.1011.

Abstract

Long-distance PCR was applied to rapidly map the restriction sites of long inserts cloned on lambda EMBL3 phage vector. The restriction sites of 9 of 15 enzymes were completely assigned in a model experiment within 14 h, including 8h for the PCR amplification. This method was found particularly useful for genomic DNA cloning when the partial sequence of the corresponding cDNA is known.
