cosmid

Fragment of DNA, for example from the human genome, inserted into a bacterial cell. The bacterium replicates the fragment along with its own DNA. In this way the fragments are copied for a gene library. Cosmids are characteristically 40,000 base pairs in length. The most commonly used bacterium is Escherichia coli. A yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) works in the same way.
