A rapid method for cosmid cloning.

We present a method for genomic library construction using cosmid vectors. With a combination of backfilling with Klenow enzyme and a cosmid vector with two cos sites, a DNA bank in excess of 500,000 clones can be made from 10 micrograms of genomic DNA. The method is more rapid than conventional protocols because size fractionation of target DNA is not necessary. A further advantage is that libraries can be made from relatively small amounts of genomic DNA.

Group embedded figures test performance in different instrumental behavior styles.

Group Embedded Figure Test (GEFT) performance of male psychiatric clinic outpatients differed significantly between persons with active and those with passive styles of instrumental behavior as measured by the Millon-Illinois Self Report Inventory. Actives were able to identify the simple figure within a complex ground significantly better than passives and thus demonstrated an independence from field not found in passives.
