Spectral Genomics makes arrays from BAC (Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes) clones. A BAC is a cloning vector derived from the E. coli fertility plasmid, the F-factor. BACs can be used in the cloning of large DNA fragments, on average approximately 200kb long, and are ideal as cloning vectors for the sequencing of whole genomes. Spectral arrays include the Spectral Chip 2600Ô, designed to survey the entire genome at high resolution, and the Constitutional ChipÔ, designed to test for DNA structural defects in a large number of chromosomal regions known to be associated with specific syndromes. Spectral makes all its arrays employing its patented technology (US Patent No. 6,048,695). Spectral Genomics BAC arrays are ideal for array-based genome ( www.spectralgenomics.com )
