Construction and validation of yeast artificial chromosome contig maps by RecA-assisted restriction endonuclease cleavage

Lauer, Peter, Schneider, Sandra S., Gnirke, Andreas

RecA-assisted restriction endonuclease (RARE) cleavage is an “Achilles’ heel” approach to restriction mapping whereby a RecA-protein–oligodeoxynucleotide complex protects an individual...
