Lucigen's Custom Library team is led by Dr. Chengcang C. Wu, an internationally renowned scientist, who has more than 15 years of experience in large-insert DNA cloning and BAC library construction. Dr. Wu pioneered the first true plant artificial chromosomes de novo in maize in 2004-2006; successfully developed the exclusive technology for construction of Random Shear BAC library in 2006-2007. He and his team have constructed hundreds of BAC libraries including more than 108 Random Shear BAC Libraries from samples including metagenomes, microbes, plant and animal species for satisfied clients all over the world.
library analysis and tools
- Speed discovery and reduce screening costs.
- Use PCR to screen pools of clones to identify clone(s) of interest.
- Consistent assessment of colony roundedness, size and color.
- Convenient arrangement in 384-well plates.
- DNA from cells robotically printed and fixed onto nylon filters.
- Rapid screen for clone of interest by hybridization.
Ultra pure High Molecular Weight Genomic DNA
- Easily screen the clones individually.
- Help tools for gene discovery and BAC end sequencing.
- High throughput sequencing on ABI 3730x sequencers.
- Complete library analysis more quickly.
CUSTOM LIBRARIES
- Superior replacement for partial
digestion methods.
- Unbiased and gap-free.
- Complete coverage with a single library.
- Large inserts: >100kb.
- Truly representative of input DNA.
- Faster analysis; dramatically reduced analysis costs.
- High-quality, large-insert partial digestion BAC library (conventional BAC library).
- Guaranteed average insert size will be between 120 Kb~ 200+ Kb.
- Fast turn-around time.
Lucigen has successfully developed proprietary techniques for preparing High Molecular Weight (HMW) genomic DNA from many sources including collected microbe samples from plant and animal hosts; soil samples; marine species: plankton, algae, sponges; and other environmental samples; and extremophiles.
- Random sheared insert DNA eliminates bias.
- Insert size up to 90kb.
- Libraries created with stable inserts even from AT-rich genomes.
- Inserts up to 30kb in the pJAZZ® linear vector.
- Libraries constructed with as little as 1 ng of target DNA.
- Inserts stabilized in pSMART® transcription-free vectors.
