Abstract
A nucleotide sequence comprising 960 base pairs of bacteriophage lambda DNA has been determined. The sequence includes the entire genes of the regulatory proteins cro and cII, and part of the O gene, together with control elements for their transcription and translation. The right-hand boundaries of the lambdaimm434 and lambdaimm21 substitutions and the cy42 mutation have been located.

The DNA sequence for the structural gene of a third represser, the Cro protein of lambda, is reported, of special interest both because of its small size and because genetic evidence suggests that it interacts with the same operator regions as does the cI protein, although the two proteins probably do not recognise exactly the same DNA bases.
