Material transfer agreement to request clones and filters

·         Plant material: cultivated diploid wheat Triticum monococcum DV92.

·         High molecular weight DNA: nuclei extracted from leaves.

·         Partial digestion: Hind III followed by double size-selection (Fig1 and 2).

·         Cloning vector: pINDIGO451 BAC

·         Library characteristics:

·         276,480 BAC clones sorted in 720 384-well plates and blotted onto 15 high-density filters

·         Average insert size of 115 kb

·         Empty clones: 1.33 %. Hybridization with labeled total DV92 DNA showed that all the other BAC clones have wheat DNA. 85% of the Not I fragments showed strong hybridization signal suggesting the presence of repetitive sequences.

·         Clones with chloroplast DNA: 0.14 %

·         Library coverage: 5.6 genome equivalents.

·         Probability of having any DNA sequence represented in this library: > 99.6 %.
