Examples in Context

  1. These vectors can have different features ( such as the size of DNA-insert they can accommodate ) and include plasmids, cosmids, and yeast artificial chromosomes ( YACs ).
  2. Yeast artificial chromosomes ( YACs ) can be used to clone and analyze large segments of genomic DNA and permit the isolation of sequences which are impossible to maintain in Escherichia coli.
  3. Given the high capacity of yeast artificial chromosomes ( YAC ) and bacterial artificial chromosomes ( BAC ), using YAC and BAC as transgenic vectors may be an ideal tool because they can contain all major important elements of lacto protein.
