Abstract
Full-length, functionally intact genomes or chromosomes are directionally assembled with partial cDNA or DNA subclones of a genome. This approach facilitates the reconstruction of genomes and chromosomes in vitro for reintroduction into a living host, and allows the selected mutagenesis and genetic manipulation of sequences in vitro prior to reassembly into a full length genome molecule for reintroduction into the same or different host. This approach also provides an alternative to recombination-mediated techniques to manipulate the genomes of higher plants and animals as well as bacteria and viruses.
