Recent pioneering work opened the way for cloning genes in Paramecium by functional complementation of mutants. We present here the construction and pilot utilization of a new indexed library of Paramecium macronuclear DNA. The library is made of 61,440 clones containing inserts mostly between 6 and 12 kilobases. It has already allowed the complementation cloning of four new genes, and this library has proven to be very useful for rapid hybridization cloning.
