Use[edit | edit source]
BACs are often used in connection with DNA sequencing.
Segment length[edit | edit source]
- Segments of an organism's DNA, ranging from 100,000 to about 300,000 base pairs, can be inserted into BACs.
- The BACs, with their inserted DNA, are then taken up by bacterial cells.
- As the bacterial cells grow and divide, they amplify the BAC DNA, which can then be isolated and used in sequencing DNA.
