RPCI-11 BAC LIBRARY PLATES - FAQs

What are some reasons why I should pick a genomic BAC clone for my gene instead of a cDNA clone?

BAC clones are genomic clones containing very large inserts (>100 kb) that may contain several genes, whereas cDNA clones only contain a single open reading frame of a gene. BAC clones are used for promoter and intron/exon analysis, chromosome localization, and making transgenic mice.
