Abstract

This book focuses on the numerous applications of Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes (BACs) in a variety of studies. The topics reviewed range from using BAC libraries as resources for marsupial and monotreme gene mapping and comparative genomic studies, to using BACs as vehicles for maintaining the large infectious DNA genomes of viruses. The large size of the insert DNA in BACs and the ease of engineering mutations in that DNA within the bacterial host, allowed manipulating the BAC-viral DNA of Varicella-Zoster Virus. Other reviews include the maintenance and suitable expression of foreign genes from a Baculovirus genome, including protein complexes, from the BAC-viral DNA and generating vaccines from BAC-viral DNA genomes of Marek's disease virus. Production of multi-purpose BAC clones in the novel Bacillus subtilis host is described, along with chapters that illustrate the use of BAC transgenic animals to address important issues of gene regulation in vertebrates, such as functionally identifying novel cis-acting distal gene regulatory sequences.

Abstract

The ability to transfer and maintain DNA both within and between species is an essential skill in biotechnology and medicine. In Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes, expert investigators describe not only the classic methods, but also the many novel techniques they have perfected for the transfer of large DNAs into the cells of both microbes and animals via large-insert recombinant DNAs. Volume 2: Functional Studies provides a wide variety of methods and applications for functional analysis of the DNA-transformed organisms. The laboratory protocols follow the successful Methods in Molecular Biology™ series format, each one offering step-by-step laboratory instructions, an introduction outlining the principle behind the technique, lists of equipment and reagents, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Besides protocols, each chapter includes scientific reviews, software tools, database resources, genome sequencing strategies, and illustrative case studies. An accompanying volume, Volume 1: Library Construction, Physical Mapping, and Sequencing, presents readily reproducible techniques for library construction, physical mapping, and sequencing. Comprehensive and cutting-edge, the two volumes of Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes provide a superlative collection of highly productive protocols that will prove useful to many bioscientists, including genome sequencers, geneticists, molecular biologists, and biochemists studying the structure and function of specific genomes.
