Rat BAC Ends

Sequences from the ends of bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones provide highly specific markers. A whole genome sequencing approach has been described in a map-as-you-go strategy. The complete sequence of a seed BAC is searched against a BAC end database and the minimally overlapping clones in each direction are selected for sequencing.

End sequences of 100,000 clones from the library CHORI-230 and 100,000 clones from a MboI library will be generated by TIGR within one year. The same set of clones are being fingerprinted by Dr. Marco Marra's group at Genome Sequencing Centre of British Columbia Cancer Research Centre at Vancouver Canada. The project is funded by NIH.
