This interactive map is the modern successor to the simple textbook diagram. It contains all the information from a restriction digest gel, a contig map, and a sequence all in one, searchable, dynamic picture.
To truly appreciate the power of a cosmid, it helps to see how its capacity and utility compare to other common cloning vectors. The table below provides a visual comparison: cosmid pics
Essential for organizing overlapping clones (contigs) to map entire chromosomes linearly. This interactive map is the modern successor to
One of the primary reasons scientists use cosmids is their large insert capacity. a contig map
