Example Sentences

After pooling of individual BAC clones, isolation of pooled BAC DNA, digestion with HindIII/MseI, ligation of Illumina Hiseq adaptor sequences and sequencing from the HindIII side using Illumina HiSeq with 100-nt read length, we obtained 1,108,197 filtered WGP tags and 345,233 tagged BACs.

From Nature

Comparison of the new assembly to the previous BAC-based maize reference genome assembly revealed more than 99.9% sequence identity and a 52-fold increase in the mean contig length, with 84% of the BACs spanned by a single contig from the long reads assembly.

From Nature

Scaffolds were then ordered and oriented into pseudochromosomes using the order of BACs as a guide.

From Nature

Instead of resolving complex repeat structures on the whole-genome level, we reconstructed the sequences of 100–150 kb BACs.

From Nature

The remaining 73,070 BACs were selected from a minimum tiling path representing the physical map of the barley genome16.
