Cosmid — A cosmid, first described by Collins and Hohn in 1978, is a type of hybrid plasmid (often used as a cloning vector) that contains cos sequences, DNA sequences originally from the Lambda phage. Cosmids can be used to build genomic libraries.… … Wikipedia
Cosmid — DNA from a bacterial virus into which is spliced a small fragment of a genome to be amplified and sequenced. A cosmid is an artificially constructed structure. It is used in cloning (copying) pieces of DNA. (On a technical level, a cosmid… … Medical dictionary
Vector, cloning — A DNA molecule originating from a virus, a plasmid (see below) or the cell of a higher organism into which another DNA fragment can be integrated without loss of the vector s (carrier s) capacity for self replication. Cloning vectors are used to… … Medical dictionary
cosmid — cos·mid (kŏzʹmĭd) n. Genetics A hybrid vector that has been spliced with plasmid DNA for cloning large genes or gene fragments. [Blend of cos (sequence), sequence of DNA allowing the cosmid to form as a circle (short for cohesive ends), and… … Universalium
