Centromeric and noncentromeric ADE2-selectable fragmentation vectors for yeast artificial chromosomes in AB1380.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have constructed a set of fragmentation vectors for the truncation of either the centromeric or the noncentromeric end of YACs containing a human DNA insert. These vectors carry ADE2 or HIS5 as the selectable marker, enabling direct use in AB1380, the host strain of most publicly available YAC libraries. Centromeric fragmentation vectors for AB1380 have not been reported previously; the noncentromeric vectors show high frequencies of fragmentation.

High resolution restriction mapping of YACs using chromosome fragmentation.
The large insert size of yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs; 1) has made them ideal for the analysis of complex genomes. YACs can be restriction mapped with rare cutting enzymes but this does not provide the resolution required to investigate gene structure (such as locating exons and introns). Detailed mapping normally requires sub-cloning into cosmid or phage vectors. Here we describe a metho...
متن کاملTargeted integration of neomycin into yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) for transfection into mammalian cells.
Vectors have been constructed for the introduction of the neomycin resistance gene (neo) into the left arm, right arm or human insert DNA of yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) by homologous recombination. These vectors contain a yeast selectable marker Lys-2, i.e. the alpha-aminoadipidate reductase gene, and a mammalian selection marker, neo, which confers G418 resistance. The vectors can be u...
متن کاملMitotic recombination of yeast artificial chromosomes.
Large regions of human DNA can be cloned and mapped in yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs). Overlapping YAC clones can be used in order to reconstruct genomic segments in vivo by meiotic recombination. This is of importance for reconstruction of a long gene or a gene complex. In this work we have taken advantage of yeast protoplast fusion to generate isosexual diploids followed by mitotic cross...
متن کاملHuman centromeric chromatin is a dynamic chromosomal domain that can spread over noncentromeric DNA.
Human centromeres are specialized chromatin domains containing the centromeric histone H3 variant CENP-A. CENP-A nucleosomes are interspersed with nucleosomes containing histone H3 dimethylated at lysine 4, distinguishing centromeric chromatin (CEN chromatin) from flanking heterochromatin that is defined by H3 lysine 9 methylation. To understand the relationship between chromatin organization a...
متن کاملIntegrative selection of human chromosome-specific yeast artificial chromosomes.
Human specific "integrative selection vectors" (ISVs) were designed to optimize integration of a yeast-selectable marker specifically into yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) derived from human but not mouse DNA. ISVs were transformed into a YAC genomic library constructed from DNA of a human-mouse somatic cell hybrid containing chromosome 21 (HSA21) as the only human chromosome. One percent of...
