To BAC or not to BAC: marine ecogenomics

Most microbes in the ocean are still resistant to our collective cultivation efforts. Environmental microbial genomics provides science with the means for accessing and assessing the genomes, diversity, evolution and population dynamics of uncultured microorganisms--the ocean's hidden majority.     

Human BAC ends

The Human BAC Ends database includes all non-redundant human BAC end sequences (BESs) generated by The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR), the University of Washington (UW) and California Institute of Technology (CalTech). It incorporates the available BAC mapping data from different genome centers and the annotation results of each end sequence for the contents of repeats, ESTs and STS markers. For each BAC end the database integrates the sequence, the phred quality scores, the map and the annotation, and provides links to sites of the library information, the reports of GenBank, dbGSS and GDB, and other relevant data. The database is freely accessible via the web and supports sequence or clone searches and anonymous FTP. The relevant sites and resources are described at http://www.tigr.org/ tdb/humgen/bac_end_search/bac_end_intro.html     

A comprehensive BAC resource

The Human Genome Project has generated extensive map and sequence data for a large number of Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) clones. In order to maximize the efficient use of the data and to minimize the redundant work for the research community, The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) comprehensive BAC resource (cBACr) (http://www.tigr.org/tdb/BacResource/BAC_resourc e_intro. html) was built as an expansion of the TIGR human BAC ends database. This resource collects, integrates and reports the information on library, maps, sequence, annotation and functions for each human and mouse BAC. The current database contains 635 016 human BACs and 265 617 mouse BACs that were characterized by various approaches, among which 22 705 human clones and 1000 mouse clones have sequence and annotation data.

Generation of BAC Transgenic Epithelial Organoids

Under previously developed culture conditions, mouse and human intestinal epithelia can be cultured and expanded over long periods. These so-called organoids recapitulate the three-dimensional architecture of the gut epithelium, and consist of all major intestinal cell types. One key advantage of these ex vivo cultures is their accessibility to live imaging. So far the establishment of transgenic fluorescent reporter organoids has required the generation of transgenic mice, a laborious and time-consuming process, which cannot be extended to human cultures. Here we present a transfection protocol that enables the generation of recombinant mouse and human reporter organoids using BAC (bacterial artificial chromosome) technology.     

Transposon-mediated BAC transgenesis in zebrafish

Bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) are widely used in studies of vertebrate gene regulation and function because they often closely recapitulate the expression patterns of endogenous genes. Here we report a step-by-step protocol for efficient BAC transgenesis in zebrafish using the medaka Tol2 transposon. Using recombineering in Escherichia coli, we introduce the iTol2 cassette in the BAC plasmid backbone, which contains the inverted minimal cis-sequences required for Tol2 transposition, and a reporter gene to replace a target locus in the BAC. Microinjection of the Tol2-BAC and a codon-optimized transposase mRNA into fertilized eggs results in clean integrations in the genome and transmission to the germline at a rate of ～15%. A single person can prepare a dozen constructs within 3 weeks, and obtain transgenic fish within approximately 3-4 months. Our protocol drastically reduces the labor involved in BAC transgenesis and will greatly facilitate biological and biomedical studies in model vertebrates.     

General method for the modification of different BAC types and the rapid generation of BAC transgenic mice

Most genome projects have relied on the sequencing of bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs), which encompass 100-300 kb of genomic DNA. As a consequence, several thousand BAC clones are now mapped to the human and mouse genome. It is therefore possible to identify in silico a BAC clone that carries a particular gene and obtain it commercially. Given the large size of BACs, most if not all regulatory sequences of a gene are present and can be used to direct faithful and tissue-specific expression of heterologous genes in vitro in cell cultures and in vivo in BAC-transgenic mice. We describe here an optimized and comprehensive protocol to select, modify, and purify BACs in order to generate BAC-transgenic mice. Importantly, this protocol includes a method to generate, within 2 days, complex plasmid cassettes required to modify BACs, and to efficiently modify different types of BACs selected from the two major BAC libraries available. Altogether, using a combination of genomic database analysis, overlap PCR cloning, and BAC recombination in bacteria, our approach allows for the rapid and reliable generation of "pseudo knockin" mice. genesis 38:39-50, 2004.     

Construction of a garlic BAC library and chromosomal assignment of BAC clones using the FISH technique.

For molecular and cytogenetic studies, two partial bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries of the garlic cultivar Allium sativum L. 'Danyang' were constructed using high molecular weight (HMW) garlic DNA, the pBAC1-SACB1 vector, and the pIndigoBAC536 vector. The average insert size of the BAC library was about 90 kb. The sequence compositions of the BAC clones were characterized by Southern hybridization with garlic genomic DNA and a repetitive sequence clone of garlic. Two BAC clones with weak signals (thus implying mostly unique sequences), GBC2-5e and GBC2-4d, were selected for FISH analysis. FISH analysis localized the GBC2-5e (approximately 100 kb) BAC clone on the long arm of garlic chromosome 7. The other BAC clone, GBC2-4d (approximately 110 kb), gave rise to discrete FISH signals on a mid-size early metaphase chromosome. The FISH screening with BAC clones proved to be a useful resource for molecular cytogenetic studies of garlic, and will be useful for further mapping and sequencing studies of important genes of this plant.
