METHOD OF TARGETED GENE DISRUPTION, GENOME OF HYPERTHERMOSTABLE BACTERIUM AND GENOME CHIP USING THE SAME

摘要

It is intended to provide an efficient and sure gene targeting method embodied at an arbitrary position in the genome of an organism and a kit therefor. It is also intended to provide a method for targeted-disruption of an arbitrary gene in the genome of an organism which comprises: 1) the step of providing the whole sequencial data of the genome of the organism; 2) the step of selecting at least one arbitrary region in the sequence; 3) the step of providing a vector containing a sequence homologous with the region selected above and a marker gene; 4) the step of transforming the organism by the vector; and 5) the step of providing the organism under such conditions as allowing homologous recombination. Moreover, the genome of a hyperthermostable bacterium and its array are provided. <IMAGE>
