lambda bacteriophage (medicine)


lambda bacteriophage
<virology> Bacterial DNA virus, first isolated from E. Coli. Its structure is similar to that of the T even phages.

Lambda genetic material consists of a double-stranded DNA molecule with 5' twelve-base-pair sticky ends, known as cos sites, which permit circularisation of the DNA molecule. It shows a lytic cycle and a lysogenic cycle and studies on the control of these alternative cycles have been very important for our understanding of the regulation of gene transcription.

It is used as a cloning vector, accommodating fragments of DNA up to 15 kilobase pairs long. For larger pieces, the cosmid vector was constructed from its ends.


The Towans-Godrevy Beach (tourism)


The Towans-Godrevy Beach is in Cornwall, in South West England (Great Britain).
