DELETION MAPPING OF THE lambda REX GENE

1 Department of Zoology, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa 52242

Deletion mapping has been used to order 12 lambda rex- mutants. Correlation of recombination data with physically-determined positions of deletion end-points (Szybalski 1971; Blattner et al. 1972) suggests that the left-most rex- mutation, rex209, is located about 260-300 nucleotide pairs from the pL mutation sex1 and about 475 nucleotide pairs from the left end-point of the region of nonhomology with lambdaimm434.
