Two 11-fold redundant bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) libraries (RPCI-32 and CHORI-230) have been constructed to support the rat genome project. The first library was constructed using a male Brown Norway (BN/SsNHsd) rat as a DNA source long before plans for rat genome sequencing had been launched. The second library was prepared from a highly inbred female (BN/SsNHsd/MCW) rat in support of the rat genome sequencing project. The use of an inbred rat strain is essential to avoid problems wi ...[more]
