Development of yeast artificial chromosome (Y AC) vectors, molecular
cloning of large segments of chromosomal DNA, and their propagation in yeast
cells has become feasible. Overlapping Y AC provides a route to the development
of physical maps of entire mammalian chromosomes. A rapid method was
developed to isolate and sequence termini of Y AC inserts quickly. The Y AC clone
is digested with a range of restriction enzymes, and ligated with a linker at its ends.
The digested fragments were amplified using modified vector specific primers and
a universal linker primer. PCR products were sequenced and the information used
to drive new sets of primers for screening of Y AC libraries to obtain overlapping
clones and construct existing Y AC contig.
