Question

Consider the λ bacteriophage DNA molecule as shown in Figure 21.14. Total digestion with the two restriction endonucleases used does not allow unambiguous placement of restriction sites, as shown in the map. Describe restriction patterns—either from partial digestion or from digestion with both BamHI and EcoRI—that would help to establish the specific map of restriction sites shown in Figure 21.14(b).
