Human 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. As coverage increases, BAC end sequences provide samples for whole genome survey.

~743,000 end sequences from 470,000 clones (20 X clone coverage and 12% sequence coverage) have been generated by TIGR, UofWashington and CalTech, providing a sequence marker every 5 kb across the genome. The coverage by paired-ends on chromosome 22 is over 5X. The project is funded by DOE.
