Y1 - 1996/05/01 JF - Genome Research JO - Genome Research SP - 448 EP - 453 DO - 10.1101/gr.6.5.448 VL - 6 IS - 5 UR - http://genome.cshlp.org/content/6/5/448.abstract N2 - An efficient approach for structural studies on bacterial chromosomes is presented. It is based on high-resolution PCR map construction by using a multiplex long accurate PCR (MLA PCR) protocol and a YAC clone carrying the region to be mapped as indicator. The high-resolution PCR map of the bacillus subtilis rrnB-dnaB region is presented as an example. Data are also presented on the use of DNA generated by LA PCR for sequencing; they are relevant to LA PCR induced mutations and justify the application of such mapping for sequencing long stretches of bacterial chromosomes.
