A Comprehensive BAC Resource

As the genome projects proceed, BAC libraries have been constructed for different organism and a tremendous numbers of BACs have been mapped, sequenced, annotated and functionally characterized. These data are extremely valuable to the research community. However the data are often scattered on different site and researchers have to spend a significant amount of time searching for BACs that they are interested. In order to use the massive data efficiently, we build this comprehensive BAC resouce to integrate the availabe mapping, sequence, annotation and functional data for each BAC for different species. Users could search the database by a varieties of parameters including sequence, clone name, function, chromosome locactions ... The eventual goal of the project is to build a minimum titling path of a set of well characteriszed BAC clones.
