Construction of a Coix BAC library and isolation of the 22 kDa α-coixin gene cluster

Coix lacryma-jobi L. (Coix) is a close relative of maize and is considered a valuable genetic resource for crop improvement. Here we report the construction of the first Coix bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library using accession PI 324059. This BAC library contains about 230?400 clones with an average insert size of 113?kb, has low organellar DNA contamination, and provides 16.3-fold coverage of the genome. The library was stored in 12?× 96 pools that could be screened with a PCR protocol. Library screening was performed for the 22?kDa α-coixin gene family. A total of 57 positive pools were identified, and single clones were isolated from 19 of these pools. Based on DNA fingerprinting and Southern blot analysis, these 19 BAC clones form a single contig of about 340?kb in length, indicating that the 22 kDa α-coixin genes occur in a cluster. These results demonstrated the suitability of this BAC library for gene isolation and comparative genomics studies of the Coix genome.     

Construction and characterization of bacterial artificial chromosome library of black-handed spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi).

The large-insert genomic DNA library is a critical resource for genome-wide genetic dissection of target species. We constructed a high-redundancy bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library of a New World monkey species, the black-handed spider monkey (Ateles geoffroyi). A total of 193 152 BAC clones were generated in this library. The average insert size of the BAC clones was estimated to be 184.6 kb with the small inserts (50-100 kb) accounting for less than 3% and the non-recombinant clones only 1.2%. Assuming a similar genome size with humans, the spider monkey BAC library has about 11x genome coverage. In addition, by end sequencing of randomly selected BAC clones, we generated 367 sequence tags for the library. When blasted against human genome, they showed a good correlation between the number of hit clones and the size of the chromosomes, an indication of unbiased chromosomal distribution of the library. This black-handed spider monkey BAC library would serve as a valuable resource in comparative genomic study and large-scale genome sequencing of nonhuman primates.

Construction and Characterization of a Human Chromosome 2-Specific BAC Library

We have constructed a human chromosome 2-specific bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library using DNA from the somatic cell hybrid GM10826. The average size of the clones is about 63 kb. The coverage and distribution of the library were estimated by screening with known polymorphic genetic markers and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Twentyone markers tested positive when DNA pools prepared from approximately one-sixth of the library were screened with 33 known markers. This is consistent with the theoretical calculation of 63% coverage at one genomic equivalent. This suggested that the coverage of the library is approximately 5-6×. FISH analysis with 54 BACs revealed single site hybridization to chromosome 2, and the clones were distributed randomly on the chromosome. We have also performed direct sequencing of the BAC insert ends to generate sequence-tagged sites suitable for mapping and chromosome walking. This is the first reported human chromosome 2-specific BAC library and should provide a resource for physical mapping and disease searching for this chromosome.     

Generation of a soybean BAC library, and identification of DNA sequences tightly linked to the Rps1-k disease resistance gene

 A soybean bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library, comprising approximately 45 000 clones, was constructed from high-molecular-weight nuclear DNA of cultivar Williams 82, which carries the Rps1-k gene for resistance against Phytophthora sojae. The library is stored in 130 pools with about 350 clones per pool. Completeness of the library was evaluated for 21 random sequences including four markers linked to the Rps1 locus and 16 cDNAs. We identified pools containing BACs for all sequences except for one cDNA. Additionally, when screened for possible contaminating BAC clones carrying chloroplast genes, no sequences homologous to two barley chloroplast genes were found. The estimated average insert size of the BAC clones was about 105 kb. The library comprises about four genome equivalents of soybean DNA. Therefore, this gives a probability of 0.98 of finding a specific sequence from this library. This library should be a useful resource for the positional cloning of Rps1-k, and other soybean genes. We have also evaluated the feasibility of an RFLP-based screening procedure for the isolation of BAC clones specific for markers that are members of repetitive sequence families, and are linked to the Rps1-k gene. We show that BAC clones isolated for two genetically linked marker loci, Tgmr and TC1-2, are physically linked. Application of this method in expediting the map-based cloning of a gene, especially from an organism, such as soybean, maize and wheat, with a complex genome is discussed.

Construction of a BAC library and a physical map of a major QTL for CBB resistance of common bean (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Phaseolus vulgaris</Emphasis> L.)

A major quantitative trait loci (QTL) conditioning common bacterial blight (CBB) resistance in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) lines HR45 and HR67 was derived from XAN159, a resistant line obtained from an interspecific cross between common bean lines and the tepary bean (P. acutifolius L.) line PI319443. This source of CBB resistance is widely used in bean breeding. Several other CBB resistance QTL have been identified but none of them have been physically mapped. Four molecular markers tightly linked to this QTL have been identified suitable for marker assisted selection and physical mapping of the resistance gene. A bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library was constructed from high molecular weight DNA of HR45 and is composed of 33,024 clones. The size of individual BAC clone inserts ranges from 30 kb to 280 kb with an average size of 107 kb. The library is estimated to represent approximately sixfold genome coverage. The BAC library was screened as BAC pools using four PCR-based molecular markers. Two to seven BAC clones were identified by each marker. Two clones were found to have both markers PV-tttc001 and STS183. One preliminary contig was assembled based on DNA finger printing of those positive BAC clones. The minimum tiling path of the contig contains 6 BAC clones spanning an estimated size of 750 kb covering the QTL region.     

A BAC Library Constructed to the Rice Cultivar

"Minghui 63" is the restorer line for a number of the most important commercial rice hybrids varieties in China. To facilitate long-term commitment in genetic analysis and molecular cloning of the superior genes in the genome of "Minghui 63", the authors have constructed a largeinsert genomic DNA library using the bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) cloning vector (pBe- loBAC 11). Size fractionated Hind m digest of genomic DNA was ligated to the BAC vector, and the ligation mixture was used to transform the bacterial strain DH10B. A total of over 26 000 clones were obtained with the average insert size of about 150 kb, ranging from 90 to 240 kb. These clones thus represent 9 x rice haploid genome equivalents. The library is now being used for physical mapping of several genomic regions for map-based gene cloning.
