Bacterial artificial chromosome
From WikiMD's WELLNESSPEDIA
A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) is an engineered DNA molecule used to clone DNA sequences in bacterial cells such as E. coli.
Use[edit]
BACs are often used in connection with DNA sequencing.
Segment length[edit]
- Segments of an organism's DNA, ranging from 100,000 to about 300,000 base pairs, can be inserted into BACs.
- The BACs, with their inserted DNA, are then taken up by bacterial cells.
- As the bacterial cells grow and divide, they amplify the BAC DNA, which can then be isolated and used in sequencing DNA.
