How to Obtain IGF and TAMU BAC Clones

The IGF Arabidopsis BAC library (all BAC clones begining with an 'F') is composed of ~10,500 clones arranged in a set of twenty-eight 384-well microtiter plates. Clones can be obtained from Dr. Thomas Altmann or the RZPD and from the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center

The complete TAMU Arabidopsis library (all BAC clones begining with a 'T') is composed of ~12,000 clones arranged in a set of thirty-two 384-well microtiter plates. Individual clones are available from the Arabidopsis Biological Resource Center

Warning:

Inconsistent Plate Numbering in the TAMU BAC Library

It has come to our attention that number and order of 384-well source plates for the TAMU BAC library differs among users. ATGC uses a library composed of clones arrayed in 32 384-well plates. The first 11 of these plates were received in the autumn of 1996, and a subsequent 21 plates were received in the spring of 1997. Other users, most notably the Ohio State Stock Center, have a 33 plate library. Most unfortunately, their additional plate is between our installments of plates 1-11 and plates 12-32. This is causing major problems for researchers trying to duplicate or utilize results from the different groups. Until the Arabidopsis TAMU BAC users adopt a standard nomenclature, the corresponce between our copy of the library and the 33 plate library is as follows:
