Method for preparing high signal strength promoters and terminators and DNA compositions employing such promoters and terminators. T5 phage is cleaved to provide for DNA sequences having intact promoters. These promoters are inserted into vectors separated from a balanced terminator by a gene of interest and the terminator is desirably followed by a marker allowing for selection of transformants. High efficiencies in transcription of DNA can be achieved with the highly active T5 promoters. The promoters and terminators are used in hybrid DNA for efficient expression of structural genes and transcription to provide RNA sequences.
