Chromosome walking can be used for the purpose of cloning a gene. It does this by using the known gene’s markers that are closest and can therefore be used in techniques like isolating DNA sequences and aiding in the sequencing and cloning of the DNA of organisms. Chromosome walking is also useful when it comes to filling in the gaps that may be present in genomes by locating clones that overlap with a library clone end. This means that for chromosome walking to be carried out, it requires a clone library of a genomic format. This is why Vectorette PCR is one of the methods that can be used to create this library for chromosome walking to occur. Vectorette PCR comes in handy when it is necessary to obtain the regions that are both upstream and downstream and flank a sequence that is already known. By obtaining these regions, it provides the library of a genomic format that chromosome walking requires.
