cosmids
Cloning vectors derived from plasmids that are capable of cloning large fragments of DNA. In addition to the features of plasmid cloning vectors (i.e., origin or replication and selectable marker(s) for growth in bacteria), cosmids contain phage lambda cos sites which permit recombinant DNA molecules that are constructed to be packaged into the lambda phage head in vitro.
