A laboratory creation involving an artificially constructed chromosome in which medium-sized segments of DNA (100,000 to 300,000 bases in length) that come from another species are cloned into bacteria. Once the foreign DNA has been cloned into the bacteria's chromosome, many copies of it can be made (amplified) and sequenced. Bacterial artifi [..]

DNA vector into which large DNA fragments can be inserted and cloned in a bacterial host.

A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) is an engineered DNA molecule used to clone DNA sequences in bacterial cells (for example, E. coli). BACs are often used in connection with DNA sequencing. Segments of an organism's DNA, ranging from 100,000 to about 300,000 base pairs, can be inserted into BACs. The BACs, with their inserted DNA, are th [..]

A chromosome-like structure, constructed by genetic engineering. BAC is a cloning vector capable of carrying between 100 and 300 kilobases of target sequence. They are propagated as a mini-chromosome [..]

DNA constructs that are composed of, at least, a Replication Origin, for successful replication, propagation to and Maintenance as an extra Chromosome in Bacteria. In addition, they can carry large am [..]

A vector capable of replication in bacteria that is used to clone 100 to 300 kb DNA fragments into E. coli cells.

A vector used to clone DNA fragments of 100 to 300 kb insert size (average of 150 kb) in Escherichia coli cells. Based on the naturally occurring F-factor plasmid found in the bacterium Escherichia co [..]

A bacterial vector for cloning DNA. BACs can accommodate longer stretches of DNA than plasmid vectors.
