We have constructed a bovine yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) library to provide a common resource for bovine genome research. We used leukocytes of a Japanese black bull (Bos taurus) as the DNA source, AB1380 for the yeast host, and pYAC4 for the vector. The library consists of 24,576 clones arranged in 256 96-well microtiter plates. An average insert size estimated from the analysis of 251 randomly selected clones was 480 kb. The rate of chimeric YACs evaluated by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis of 44 randomly selected clones was 36.4%. To estimate the number of genome equivalents, PCR-based screening was performed with 48 primer pairs and isolated 3.2 clones on average. In order to provide broad access for the scientific community, this library has been incorporated into the Reference Library system which provides high density filters for colony hybridization screening and a common database of the library.

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D005819 Genetic Markers A phenotypically recognizable genetic trait which can be used to identify a genetic locus, a linkage group, or a recombination event.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D015723 Gene Library A large collection of DNA fragments cloned (CLONING, MOLECULAR) from a given organism, tissue, organ, or cell type. It may contain complete genomic sequences (GENOMIC LIBRARY) or complementary DNA sequences, the latter being formed from messenger RNA and lacking intron sequences.
