Empire Genomics

The Bacterial Artificial Chromosome (BAC) is a powerful resource for functional genomics research such as BAC recombineering. This technology is useful for many procedures, including genome wide gene mapping, sequencing, physical mapping and chromosome walking and FISH. One of the most widely used library collections is the Roswell Park Cancer Institute collection.

Through the RPCI BAC and PAC clone resource, Empire Genomics has access to the RPCI-11 human BAC library, RPCI-22, and -23 mouse BAC libraries in addition to 15 additional libraries representing 9 model organisms. These genomic libraries are available for clone selection, characterization, mapping, and distribution to researchers across the globe. Since several of the clones have been sequenced, mapped by the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium and are included as validated elements on the EG BAC arrays, they have proven to be optimal tools for Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) and transgenic studies in mice.
