An Indexed Genomic Library for Paramecium Complementation Cloning

Anne‐Marie Keller, Jean J. Cohen

Abstract

Recent pioneering work opened the way for cloning genes in Paramecium by functional complementation of mutants. We present here the construction and pilot utilization of a new indexed library of Paramecium macronuclear DNA. The library is made of 61,440 clones containing inserts mostly between 6 and 12 kilobases. It has already allowed the complementation cloning of four new genes, and this library has proven to be very useful for rapid hybridization cloning.
