DNA Circularization: a Molecular Approach for the Detection and Isolation of Tandemly Duplicated Genes

Nature New Biology volume 229, pages 84–86 (1971)Cite this article

Abstract

THE aim of this communication is to extend an elegant procedure previously used to show terminal redundancy in phage1–3 to study duplications. In particular, the method should be useful for the detection and isolation of tandemly duplicated genes.
