Abstract
We have constructed a new generation yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) library from female C57BL/10 mice in a recombination-deficient strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae carrying a mutation in the RAD52 gene. The YAC library contains 41,568 clones with an average insert size of 240 kilobases, representing a greater than threefold coverage of the mouse genome. Currently, the library can be screened by polymerase chain reaction and we have isolated positive clones at a number of loci in the mouse genome. This rad52 library should enable a long-term assessment of the effect of one of the yeast recombination pathway genes on both, genome-wide YAC clone stability and the frequency of chimaeric clones.Entities:
