Nucleotide sequence of bacteriophage φX174 DNA

Abstract: A DNA sequence for the genome of bacteriophage phi X174 of approximately 5,375 nucleotides has been determined using the rapid and simple 'plus and minus' method. The sequence identifies many of the features responsible for the production of the proteins of the nine known genes of the organism, including initiation and termination sites for the proteins and RNAs. Two pairs of genes are coded by the same region of DNA using different reading frames.

“…Plasmid construction pXL2776 was constructed from pXL2675, described by Wils and Ollivier in 1996 (patent reference FR 9603519): the minimal attB site 7 was inserted between the HindIII and SacI sites, and the attP site (position 27480 to 27860 in the published sequence of Sanger et al 24 ) was inserted between the XbaI and NsiI sites. Thus, pXL2776 contained a multiple cloning site between the attP and attB sites in the same orientation, and a kanamycin expression cassette.…”

“…Combination of the maps of Fig. 4 and the genetic map of 1$X174 (Weisbeek et al, 1976;Sanger et al, 1977) and the start of gene E of G4. The outer fragment map represents the 4X174 AluI map, the next map is the genetic map of +X174.…”

“…The physical-genetic map of +X174 phage has been well established (Weisbeek et al, 1976;Sanger et al, 1977) and the present study was undertaken to align the G4 and $X174 restriction enzyme cleavage maps and to obtain information on the position and order of the genes of G4 phage on the physical map.…”

“…Genomics emerged with the sequencing of the first complete genome, bacteriophage jX174, by Fredrick Sanger in 1977, spanning approximately 5 kb encompassing just 10 genes (Sanger et al, 1977). Since then genomic sequencing has rapidly progressed and complete genomes are now known for many The paradigm shift in approach to animal breeding.…”
