HI

Interesting word.

A fosmid is a type of cosmid (f–factor), which is like a plasmid, but is capable of containing much larger pieces of DNA, up to 50 kb compared to about 10 kb in a plasmid. Like plasmids, fosmids are circular. However, unlike plasmids, E. coli cannot carry multiple copies of a fosmid.

Interesting indeed! So by definition, overlapping fosmids would simply be overlapping DNA sequences obtained from sequenced fosmids. lol right? Smiling Face with Halo
