Genomic Clones

BAC Genomic clones and Filters

The RPCI-98 Drosophila melanogaster BAC Library (17,540 clones in pBACe3.6; average clone size is 160-Kb), which was made from DNA of the same y¹ ; cn¹ bw¹ sp¹ stock as that used for the Berkeley Drosophila Genome Project P1 clones, is available from BACPAC Resources. This BACR library was made for the BDGP by K. Osoegawa, A. Mammoser, and P. de Jong.
Clones from two genomic BAC libraries (83 kb and 21 kb average clone size) engineered into the attB-P[acman]-CmR-BW vector, a special adaptation of P[acman], are also available from P(acman) Resources.
For information and resources related to the P[acman] recombineering technique see: P(acman) Resources

Fosmid CDS-GFP-tagged clones

The Drosophila TransgeneOme Fosmid Library (a genome-scale collection of ~10,000 validated clones covering ~9600 genes (73% of the Drosophila proteome)), is a comprehensive genome-wide library of C-terminally tagged proteins within genomic fosmid constructs. The tagging cassette comprises affinity tags, protease sites and GFP suitable for protein localisation and complex purification studies. Transgenic lines have been generated for about 900 of these clones and are available at Vienna Drosophila Resource Center (VDRC).

YAC Genomic clones

A complete set of YAC clones is maintained by Ian Duncan and clones may be requested from him.

Sibling Species Genomic Libraries

Fosmid Libraries from BACPAC Resources

Genomic fosmid libraries were constructed for the BDGP by Andreas Gnirke at Exelixis, Inc. (South San Francisco) from Drosophila erecta, D. pseudoobscura, D. virilis, and D. willistoni. The fosmid libraries are available from BACPAC Resources for erecta, pseudoobscura ,virilis, and willistoni.
