Yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) have recently provided a potential route to long-range coverage of complex genomes in contiguous cloned DNA. In a pilot project for 50 Mb (1.5% of the human genome), a variety of techniques have been applied to assemble Xq24-q28 YAC contigs up to 8 Mb in length and assess their quality. The results indicate the relative strength of several approaches and support the adequacy of YAC-based methods for mapping the human genome.

Abstract
Yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) have recently provided a potential route to long-range coverage of complex genomes in contiguous cloned DNA. In a pilot project for 50 Mb (1.5% of the human genome), a variety of techniques have been applied to assemble Xq24-q28 YAC contigs up to 8 Mb in length and assess their quality. The results indicate the relative strength of several approaches and support the adequacy of YAC-based methods for mapping the human genome.File in questo prodotto:
