lüll The development and applications of the bacterial artificial chromosome cloning system Shizuya H; Kouros-Mehr HKeio J Med 2001[Mar]; 50 (1): 26-30The development of the Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) system was driven in part by the Human Genome Project as a means to construct genomic DNA libraries and physical maps for genomic sequencing. The BAC system is based on the well-characterized Escherichia coli F-factor, a low copy plasmid that exists in a supercoiled circular form in host cells. The structural features of the F-factor allow stable maintenance of individual human DNA clones as well as easy manipulation of the cloned DNA. BACs are currently used in a wide array of applications from genome sequencing to gene discovery. This paper describes the key elements in the development of the BAC system and its current notable applications.|*Chromosomes, Artificial, Bacterial[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Cloning, Molecular/*methods[MESH]|Mice[MESH]|Mice, Transgenic[MESH] |
