We have constructed a new Arabidopsis (ecotype Columbia) genomic library in Yeast Artificial Chromosomes : the CIC library (for CEPH/INRA/CNRS). The library consists of 1152 clones with an overall average insert size of 420 kb. The construction and characterization of the library are described elsewhere (Creusot et al., 1995). The CIC library is available to the community through the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center (Ohio State University, USA).
Here we present the detailed data on size and content in repeated DNA for all the clones in the library. Detailed protocols and discussion of the results are presented in Creusot et al. (1995).
The results concerning other probes are presented in a series of tables below. Each table shows the size and hybridization data of the CIC YAC library and is formatted in the same way. The table of information has been split for ease of access.
Column 1 (YAC #) : coordinates of the clones are according to the plate (1 to 12), rows (A to H) and columns (1 to 12).
Columns 2 to 6 : size of the YAC(s) (up to 5 YACs), estimated by comparison to yeast chromosomes (strain AB1380). Note that size data are missing for some of the clones. This may be due to problems during yeast culture and/or DNA plug preparation ; therefore some of these clones may actually contain YAC(s).
Hybridization : "+" indicates a positive hybridization signal. When two YACs are present, ">+", "<+", and "2+" indicate respectively hybridization with the larger, the smaller, or both YACs.
TOTAL : hybridization to total genomic DNA probe (including cpDNA) from Arabidopsis.
cpDNA : mixture of chloroplastic DNA probes from wheat, totalizing 60 kb of the organellar genome.
5S : Arabidopsis 5S rDNA probe (Campbell et al., 1992).
rDNA : 18S-25S rDNA intergenic spacer probe from Arabidopsis.
180 and 160 : respectively 180 bp and 160 bp paracentromeric element probes (Martinez-Zapater et al., 1986 ; Simoens et al., 1988).
