7Cosmid — 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.… …

9generalized transduction — a form of bacterial transduction in which the phage head forms around a random piece of bacterial DNA and transports it to the recipient bacterial cell, where it integrates into the genome via recombination. Cf. specialized t …
10bacteriophage — phage; n. a virus that attacks bacteria. In general, a phage consists of a head, tail, and tail fibres, all composed of protein molecules, and a core of DNA. The tail and tail fibres are responsible for attachment to the bacterial surface and for …
