| Abstract | Transformation-associated recombination (TAR) can be exploited in yeast to clone human DNAs. TAR cloning was previously accomplished using one or two telomere-containing vectors with a common human repeat(s) that could recombine with human DNA during transformation to generate yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs). On basis of the proposal that broken DNA ends are more recombinogenic than internal sequences, we have investigated if TAR cloning could be applied to the generation of circular YACs by using a single centromere vector containing various human repeats at opposite ends. Transformation with these vectors along with human DNA led to the efficient isolation of circular YACs with a mean size of ≈150 kb. The circular YACs are stable and they can be easily separated from yeast chromosomes or moved into bacterial cells if the TAR vector contains an Escherichia coli F-factor cassette. More importantly, circular TAR cloning enabled the selective isolation of human DNAs from monochromosomal human–rodent hybrid cell lines. Although <2% of the DNA in the hybrid cells was human, as much as 80% of transformants had human DNA YACs when a TAR cloning vector contained Alu repeats. The level of enrichment of human DNA was nearly 3000-fold. A comparable level of enrichment was demonstrated with DNA isolated from a radiation hybrid cell line containing only 5 Mb of human DNA. A high selectivity of human DNA cloning was also observed for linear TAR cloning with two telomere vectors. No human–rodent chimeras were detected among YACs generated by TAR cloning. The results with a circular TAR cloning vector or two vectors differed from results with a single-telomere vector in that the latter often resulted in a series of terminal deletions in linear YACs. This could provide a means for physical mapping of cloned material. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
