YAC Protocols

Yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) have their origins in the molecular genetic analysis of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The construction of self-maintaining genetic elements from isolated frag­ ments of the yeast genome defined DNA sequences necessary for chro­ mosome function has provided t...
