Individual
primary recombinant clones (hosted in phage, cosmid, YAC, or other vector
) that are placed in two-dimensional arrays in microtiter dishes. Each primary
clone can be identified by the identity of the plate and the clone location
(row and column) on that plate. Arrayed libraries of clones can be used
for many applications, including screening for a specific gene or genomic
region of interest as well as for physical mapping . Information gathered
on individual clones from physical map analyses is entered into a relational
database and used to construct physical and genetic linkage maps simultaneously;
clone identifiers serve to interrelate the multilevel maps. Cf. library,
genomic library. |
