Example Sentences

After pooling of individual BAC clones, isolation of pooled BAC DNA, digestion with HindIII/MseI, ligation of Illumina Hiseq adaptor sequences and sequencing from the HindIII side using Illumina HiSeq with 100-nt read length, we obtained 1,108,197 filtered WGP tags and 345,233 tagged BACs.

From Nature

However, when pressed with the prospect of increased hangovers, arrests, and hospital stays that would inevitably come with all those increased BACs, he settled on another option.

From Slate

Comparison of the new assembly to the previous BAC-based maize reference genome assembly revealed more than 99.9% sequence identity and a 52-fold increase in the mean contig length, with 84% of the BACs spanned by a single contig from the long reads assembly.

From Nature

Scaffolds were then ordered and oriented into pseudochromosomes using the order of BACs as a guide.

From Nature

Instead of resolving complex repeat structures on the whole-genome level, we reconstructed the sequences of 100–150 kb BACs.
