Using DNA molecules synthesized in the early stage of {lambda} phage infection, deoxynucleotides at the transition sites from primer RNA to DNA synthesis have been mapped in the 1.5 kbase area of the {lambda} phage genome containing the genetically defined replication origin (ori{lambda}). Sites in the 1-strand (the polarity of the 1-strand is 5' to 3' from the left to the right direction of the {lambda} phage genetic map) were distributed both inside and outside of the ori{lambda}, whereas the sites in the r-strand (the strand in the opposite polarity) were mainly distributed more than three hundred nueleotides apart from the ori{lambda} to the right. A CPuPu sequence was found at –12 to –10 region of transition sites of the r- and the 1-strands in the frequency of 80% and 70%, respectively, and over 60% of the CPuPu sequences were CAG. Properties of the transition sites are discussed in relation to the primer synthesis.
