Summary
Two linkage maps of Salmonella phage P22, one constructed with temperature sensitive mutants and the other from amber mutants, were aligned with respect to directional sequence of the genes. Alignment was determined by use of a three-factor cross.
The results are in agreement with two independent complementation tests conducted between temperature sensitive and amber mutants which had been employed in constructing the linkage maps.
