Gene cloning for the production of recombinant DNA is usually performed with E. coli. There is, however, no doubt that gene cloning in organisms other than E. coli will assume a much more important role in the future: efficient cloning systems are needed for the analysis of gene expression and its regulation in eukaryotic cells, for the elucidation ofthe genetic mechanisms of transform a- tion, and for the study of the genetic rearrangement during dif- ferentiation and embryogenesis. Furthermore, optimal cloning systems will be required for practical applications in the near future: for the...

The topic of this years' osbach Colloquium was DNA integration. We have tried to bring together experts from different fields of research who are studying natural processes by which DNA molecules from differ ent sources are linked. It has been known for a long time that such linkage occurs between the chromosomes of bacteriophages and plasmids on the one hand and the chromosome of the bacterial host on the other. This process has been especially well studied in bacteriophage A. Since it is controlled in a complicated way, we began with a lecture by M. ptashne on these regulatory processes. H....
