Protocol describes how to construct a library of 35-45-kb fragments of genomic DNA in the double cos site cosmid vector, SuperCos-1. The steps include: Linearization and dephosphorylation of SuperCos-1 DNA; Partial digestion of high-molecular-weight DNA with MboI; Dephosphorylation of high-molecular-weight genomic DNA; Ligation of cosmid arms to genomic DNA: Packaging and plating recombinants; Isolation and analysis of recombinant cosmids: Validation of the library. - [Read Construction of Genomic DNA Libraries in Cosmid Vectors Protocol]

siRNAs produced upon the addition of dsRNA to Drosophila embryo extract are enriched in a micrococcus-nuclease-resistant fraction. After proteinase K treatment and dephosphorylation with calf intestinal phosphatase, these siRNAs mediate efficient RNAi in vitro. - [Read Preparation of siRNAs from Drosophila Embryo Extracts Protocol]
