N. crassa gene libraries

The FGSC holds the libraries used in the Neurospora genome program at the Broad Institute and can distribute individual clones or groups of clones according to genome location data (below). Full ordered libraries is not available without special arrangement.

pLorist6Xh

This library was constructed from FGSC 987 DNA and is described in Genetics 157 no. 3 979-990

Orbach/Sachs pMOcosX cosmid library .

The vector pMOcosX has dominant selectable markers for fungi (hygromycin resistance) and E. coli (ampicillin resistance). To prepare the library, pMOcosX was digested with XbaI and the ends treated with phosphatase. The vector was then digested with XhoI and the ends partially filled in with dCTP and dTTP using klenow. 74-OR23-1VA DNA was partially digested with MboI and the ends partially filled in with dATP and dGTP using klenow. The vector and genomic DNAs were ligated. The ligated DNA was divided into two parts. One part was packaged using Stratagene gold II extracts and the other part was packaged using Stratagene XL II extracts. The packaged material was plated on host strain DH5aMCR. 2400 colonies were picked from each packaged DNA set to 25 microtiter plates so that the entire library consists of 50 microtiter plates.

cDNA libraries from the Functional Genomics Program (Mauriceville)  (2007)


The codes used on the Broad Website for EST clones refer to the libraries as follows:

 Baştürkmen-Sachs 01
G906- 7-hours Vegetative Growth
Poly(A) mRNA was purified from the Mauriceville-1c mat A strain (FGSC 2225). Cells were grown in 1X Vogel’s medium/2% sucrose for 7 h at 34 degrees C with orbital shaking at 125 rpm. First-strand cDNA containing methyl-C was synthesized using an oligo-dT primer bearing a XhoI site to enable directional cloning. After second-strand synthesis, addition of EcoRI adapters, digestion with XhoI, and appropriate work-up, cDNA was ligated to XhoI/EcoRI-digested UNIZAP XR Lambda arms and the ligation products packaged into Lambda particles. The Lambda cDNA library was amplified. Mass-excision of the amplified library was accomplished to produce pBluescript phagemid for cDNA sequencing.
