A defined and complete gene library of the fish lymphocystis disease virus (FLDV) genome was established. FLDV DNA was cleaved withEcoRI,BamHI,EcoRI/BamHI andEcoRI/HindIII and the resulting fragments were inserted into the corresponding sites of the pACYC184 or pAT153 plasmid vectors using T4 DNA ligase. Since FLDV DNA is highly methylated at CpG sequences (Daraiet at, 1983; Wagneret al., 1985), anEscherichia coliGC-3 strain was required to amplify the recombinant plasmids harboring the FLDV DNA fragments. Bacterial colonies harboring recombinant plasmids were selected. All cloned fragments were individually identified by digestion of the recombinant plasmid DNA with different restriction enzymes and screened by hybridization of recombinant plasmid DNA to viral DNA. This analysis revealed that sequences representing 100% of the viral genome were cloned. Using these recombinant plasmids, the physical maps of the genome were constructed forBamHI,EcoRI,BestEII, andPstI restriction endonucleases. Although the FLDV genome is linear, due to circular permutation the restriction maps are circular.
