Abstract

An SfiI restriction map of Escherichia coli K-12 strain MG1655 is presented. The map contains thirty-one cleavage sites separating fragments ranging in size from 407 kb to 3.7 kb. Several techniques were used in the construction of this map, including CHEF pulsed field gel electrophoresis; physical analysis of a set of twenty-six auxotrophic transposon insertions; correlation with the restriction map of Kohara and coworkers using the commercially available E. coli Gene Mapping Membranes; analysis of publicly available sequence information; and correlation of the above data with the combined genetic and physical map developed by Rudd, et al. The combination of these techniques has yielded a map in which all but one site can be localized within a range of +/- 2 kb, and over half the sites can be localized precisely by sequence data. Two sites present in the EcoSeq5 sequence database are not cleaved in MG1655 and four sites are noted to be sensitive to methylation by the dcm methylase. This map, combined with the NotI physical map of MG1655, can aid in the rapid, precise mapping of several different types of genetic alterations, including transposon mediated mutations and other insertions, inversions, deletions and duplications.
