| Abstract | We have assigned genetic markers to locations on the physical map of the genome of the archaeon Haloferax volcanii, using both a physical method (hybridization) and a more specific genetic technique (transformation with cosmids). Hybridizations were against restriction digests of each of 151 cosmids making up a minimally overlapping set and covering 96% of the genome. Results with a cloned insertion sequence and a tRNA probe indicated that transposable elements are concentrated on two of the four plasmids of this species, whereas regions complementary to tRNA are largely chromosomal. For a genetic analysis of genes involved in the biosynthesis of amino acids, purines, and pyrimidines, we used cosmid transformation to assign 139 of 243 ethyl methanesulfonate-induced auxotrophic mutations, generated and characterized for this study, to single cosmids or pairs of cosmids from the minimal set. Mutations affecting the biosynthesis of uracil, adenine, guanine, and 14 amino acids have been mapped in this way. All mutations mapped to the 2920-kilobase-pair chromosome of Hf. volcanii and seemed uniformly distributed around this circular replicon. In some cases, many mutations affecting a single pathway map to the same or overlapping cosmids, as would be expected were genes for the pathway linked. For other biosynthetic pathways, several unlinked genetic loci can be identified. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
