Custom BAC Libraries

What is a BAC Library?


Rhesus Monkey BAC Library A large-insert genomic DNA BAC library forms the foundation for constructing physical maps, genome sequencing and cloning genes of interest. We have optimized protocols for making high quality, large insert BAC libraries with an unrivaled turnaround time. We guarantee the average insert size will be between 115 Kb and +180 Kb.

BAC libraries are delivered as frozen BAC clones in 96 or 384 well plates and include barcode labels, a complete report and information about working with your BAC clones. We will provide technical support for the safe storage of your custom BAC library.

Amplicon Express constructed the Primate BAC Library to the right from whole blood using vector pCC1BAC DH10b host cells and a HindIII cloning site.
