A genetic procedure is directed for the isolation of chromosomal deletions and duplications with predetermined endpoints. These rearrangements are generated in transduction crosses using a mixture of P22-transducing phage lysates grown on two strains, each carrying a Mud-lacinsertion. The formation of duplications and deletions was demonstrated in thehisoperon using insertions of Mud1-8(a transposition-defectiveMud-lacphage). This technique was also used to make larger chromosomal duplications between Mud1-8insertions in thethrandleubiosynthetic operons and between Mudinsertions in thethrandpyrBoperons. Genetic evidence is presented that strongly suggests that inheritance of a single Mudprophage by P22-mediated crosses requires two transduced fragments; each carrying part of the Mudprophage. The two fragments must be involved in three recombinational exchanges; one exchange joins the donor Mudfragments and two exchanges occur between the composite fragment and the recipient chromosome, one on either side of the complete donor Mudelement. Since duplications only occur between Mudinsertions in the same orientation on the chromosome, the method of duplication formation provides a simple means of determining the orientation of Mud1-8on the chromosome and, therefore, the direction of transcription of the gene into which Mudis inserted. This method was also used to construct recombinants between a Mud1-8prophage and Casadaban's protein fusion vector Mud2 and, thereby, isolate Mud2-8, a Mudderivative containing the protein fusion ability of Mud2 and the defective transposition functions of Mud1-8.
