ABSTRACT:
The use of T7 bacteriophage to produce DNA length standards by enzymatically joining terminally repetitious, blunt-ended DNA has now been demonstrated. It is now possible to precisely control the formation of concatemeric DNAs thereby generating custom-made size-ranges of length standards. Furthermore, the standards thus produced are stable over time providing a highly reproducible and convenient product for the molecular biologist.
