Rapid alkaline lysis miniprep method for isolating DNA from large PAC clones. It is a modification of a standard Qiagen-Tip method that uses no organic extractions or columns. The method works very well for doing analytical restriction digests of PAC clones and can be scaled up if necessary. - [Read DNA Isolation From BAC & PAC Clones Protocol]

Protocol describes how to transform E. coli with BAC DNA by electroporation. - [Read Working with Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes Protocol]

Protocol uses the BIOPRIME reaction kit from GibcoBRL to prepare biotin-labelled BAC DNA which is detected using FITC-Avidin (Vector Labs, DCS grade). Reagents from other manufacturers may work equally well but have not been tested. Includes: Labeling of BAC clones; Ethanol precipitation; Hybridization; Post-hybridisation treatment / detection. - [Read BAC-FISH Protocol]

BAC DNAs are prepared from 5-ml cultures of BAC-transformed cells by a modification of the standard alkaline lysis method (Preparation of Plasmid DNA by Alkaline Lysis with SDS: Minipreparation). The yield typically varies between 0.1 and 0.4 µg of BAC DNA. - [Read Isolation of BAC DNA from Small-scale Cultures Protocol]

The procedure for isolation of BAC DNA is scaled-up to accommodate 500-ml cultures, which, on average, yield 20-25 µg of purified BAC DNA. - [Read Isolation of BAC DNA from Large-scale Cultures Protocol]

Protocol describes isolation of BAC DNA from bacterial cultures using the commercial NucleoBond system. - [Read Isolating BAC DNA from Bacterial Cultures Using the NucleoBond System Protocol]

Describe a set of BACs that map close to the centromeric and distal chromosomal ends for each mouse chromosome. - [Read A Triple Color FISH Technique for Mouse Chromosome Identification]

Protocol presents the amplification of insert end sequences from bacterial artificial chromosome clones using TAIL-PCR. The amplified products are suitable as probes for chromosome walking and genome mapping and as templates for direct sequencing. The protocol has been used in rice genome studies. - [Read Amplification of Insert End Sequences from BACs Clones by Thermal Asymmetric Interlaced PCR]

Protocol for the preparation of BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosome) DNA with CONCERT high purity plasmid purification system. Includes: - [Read Preparation of BAC DNA with CONCERT High Purity Plasmid Purification System Protocol]

Sequencing conditions tested for the ABI Big-Dye terminators (PE-ABI #4303150 for the 1000 reaction kit - Description: TF,KIT BTD RR-1000) with various templates. Important to quantitate all templates by agarose gel electrophoresis vs size and concentration standards and do a few tests with different template concentrations to determine the optimal conditions for your reactions. Several conditions are given. - [Read Dye Protocols and Notes for Cosmid, BAC, BAC, Fosmid Templates]
