C. Burgtorf et al., GRIDDED GENOMIC LIBRARIES OF DIFFERENT CHORDATE SPECIES - A REFERENCELIBRARY-SYSTEM FOR BASIC AND COMPARATIVE GENETIC-STUDIES OF CHORDATE GENOMES, Genomics (San Diego, Calif.), 52(2), 1998, pp. 230-232
The use of genomic libraries maintained in arrayed format is becoming
a more and more popular tool for the analysis of molecular evolution a
nd comparative molecular development. Being able to use already existi
ng reference libraries considerably reduces the work load, and if resu
lts are made publicly available, it will facilitate in silica experime
nts in the future. Here we describe the construction and preliminary c
haracterization of six cosmid libraries of different chordate species,
Ciona intestinalis (Hemichordate), Branchiostoma floridae (Cephalocho
rdate), Lampetra fluviatilis (Cyclostoma), Xiphophorus maculatus, and
Danio rerio (Osteichthyes) in Lawrist7 and Fugu rubripes in Lawrist4.
