Abstract
The construction of a human DNA library in a centromere-based circular yeast plasmid is described. The vector contains the yeast CEN3 sequence, the URA3 gene for propagation in yeast and a hygromycin-resistance gene (HyR) for selection in mammalian cells. The library consists of 64,000 members with an average insert size of 150 kb, with some members containing inserts of > 1 Mb. We calculate that the library contains three human genome equivalents of DNA. Clones can be identified by a PCR-based screening of DNA pools from individual colonies that have been stored in microtiter wells.Entities:
