This document outlines a comprehensive protocol for sequencing Chromosome 12 using BACs. It includes steps for selecting suitable seed BACs, database checks and updates, and preparation of libraries for sequencing. The process involves optimizing the workflow for 4-6 BACs per week, including DNA preparation, library validation, and real-time PCR assessments. The key stages are outlined for managing runs and estimating required coverage, with a focus on finding contiguous BACs. Current progress highlights include several BACs ready for submission and the need for additional seed BACs for continuity.

Current status of the work: • … still selecting seed BACs …so far … • 10+3 BACs have been selected as seeds… • 2 BACs are ready for submission as finished (validate.pl) • 1 BAC is ready for submission as pre-finished (phase2) • 3 BACs are in progress, should be ready within 2-3 weeks • In order to proceed we need more seed BACs and we have to work out a fast way to obtain the contiguous BACs
