EXPLORING YEAST ARTIFICIAL CHROMOSOMES
Yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) are artificial chromosomes used for the cloning and manipulation of DNA in yeast cells. YACs are important tools in genetic research and have been instrumental in the mapping and sequencing of the human genome. Structure of…
BACTERIAL ARTIFICIAL CHROMOSOMES IN FOCUS
Bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) are vectors used to clone DNA fragments in bacteria. They are widely used in molecular biology for various applications, including genomic sequencing, functional genomics, and transgenic animal production. BACs are particularly valuable for their ability to…
THE SCIENCE OF CHROMOSOMES
Introduction Chromosomes are long, coiled-up molecules of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) that contain an organism’s genetic information. They are found in the nucleus of every cell in the body of eukaryotic organisms, including humans. Chromosomes are responsible for transmitting genetic information…
