cosmids
1Cosmid — A cosmid, first described by Collins and Hohn in 1978, is a type of hybrid plasmid (often used as a cloning vector) that contains cos sequences, DNA sequences originally from the Lambda phage. Cosmids can be used to build genomic libraries.… …
2Cloning vector — A DNA molecule originating from a virus, a plasmid (see below) or the cell of a higher organism into which another DNA fragment can be integrated without loss of the vector s (carrier s) capacity for self replication. Cloning vectors are used to… …

7CD23 — CD23, also known as Fc epsilon RII, or FcεRII, is the low affinity receptor for IgE, an antibody isotype involved in allergy and resistance to parasites and is important in regulation of IgE levels. Unlike many of the antibody receptors, CD23 is… …
8Chromosome 2 (human) — Chromosome 2 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 2 is the second largest human chromosome, spanning more than 237 million base pairs [1] (the building material of DNA)… …

10Fosmid — Fosmids are similar to cosmids but are based on the bacterial F plasmid. The cloning vector is limited, as a host (usually E. coli ) can only contain one fosmid molecule.Low copy number offers higher stability than comparable high copy number… …
