| cosmid |
A plasmid vector which contains the two cos (cohesive) ends of phage lambda (l) and one or more selectable markers such as an antibiotic resistance gene. Cosmids exploit certain properties of phage lambda (l) to enable large, 40-50 kb, DNA fragments to be cloned at high efficiency. Cosmids and cosmid recombinants replicate as plasmids.

| cosmid |
A hybrid plasmid that contains cos sites at each end. Cos sites are recognized during head filling of lambda phages. Cosmids are useful for cloning large segments of foreign DNA (up to 50 kb).
