Yu Y, Tomkins JP, Waugh R, Frisch DA, Kudrna D, Kleinhofs A, Brueggeman RS, Muehlbauer GJ, Wise RP, Wing RA  (2000)  A bacterial artificial chromosome library for barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and the identification of clones containing putative resistance genes. Theoretical and Applied Genetics 101:1093-1099

This barley BAC library has an average insert size of 106 Kb (Genome size: 5000 Mb) covering 6.3 genome equivalents. It was constructed at CUGI (Tomkins et
al. 2000). It was constructed in the Hind III site of pBeloBAC11and contains 313,344 clones (816 plates).

The cv Morex BAC library is described and information aboput how to obtain clones, filters, the whole liobrary at the CUGI web page http://www.genome.clemson.edu/orders/Product.html.

You can get information about BAC addresses for specific probes at my web page. Barley BAC addresses available to me can be viewed by two means at
http://barleygenomics.wsu.edu/.
1. Download the excel spread sheet "xl061201.xls" last updated on 6/12/01.  BAC addresses are listed in columns AA, AB, AC, AD, and AE.
2. Go to "databases and interactive naps" at http://barleygenomics.wsu.edu/databases/databases.html and click on BACS http://barleygenomics.wsu.edu/databases/bacs-search.html  This database is still in flux, but will eventually be the best source of BAC address data.
