   CHORI-318: Green Anole Lizard (Anolis carolinensis) BAC Library   

Background information

The CHORI-318 “Green Anole Lizard” BAC library has been constructed by Boudewijn ten Hallers and Dr. Maxim Koriabine, in Pieter de Jong’s laboratory at BACPAC Resources, Children’s Hospital Oakland Research Institute. The library preparation followed the general cloning approach developed in our laboratory Osoegawa et al., 1998. White blood cells from a male individual with ID number 5 (collected at Dry Bay, SRS, Aiken County, South Carolina, USA), were kindly provided by Travis C. Glenn, from the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory at the University of Georgia, Aiken, SC 29802, USA. White blood cells were embedded in 0.5% InCert agarose and proteins were removed by a detergent/proteinaseK treatment. The resulting agarose embedded high-molecular weight DNA was partially digested using a combination of EcoRI restriction enzyme and EcoRI methylase then size fractionated by pulsed-field electrophoresis. DNA fragments from the appropriate size fraction were cloned into the pTARBAC2.1 vector between the two EcoRI sites. The ligation products were transformed into DH10B (T1 resistant) electro-competent cells (Invitrogen). The library has been arrayed into plates 432, 384-well microtiter dishes and subsequently been gridded onto 9, 22x22cm nylon high-density filters for screening by probe hybridization. Each hybridization membrane represents over 18,000 distinct BAC clones, stamped in duplicate. BAC library construction was funded by NIH grant HG025323-03 under the auspices of the NIH-funded BAC Resource Network.

No clones were found to be non-recombinant after analysis of CHORI-318 using overgo probes specific for the puc19 fragment.

Data on the CHORI-318 clone insert size distribution has been determined by pulsed-field gel Electrophoresis. Clone Size Distribution has been plotted graphically.

The library is available for individual clone orders distributed as agar-stab cultures in a fee structure described on our website "Ordering & Pricing Information" .

The BAC library has been gridded onto 22x22cm positively charged nylon filters for hybridization screening purposes. Each filter contains 36,864 colonies which represents 18,432 independent clones spotted in duplicate in a 4x4 clone array. Clones can be identified through screening by purchasing "high-density colony" hybridization filters or by utilizing our "fee for service" "Library Screening Services" . For questions about clones and hybridization membranes, please contact BACPAC Resources ([email protected]).

Please direct questions concerning this library to either Pieter J. de Jong.


Ordering & Pricing information
