Isolation of the terminal portions of genomic DNA cloned in bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) is an important step in map-based cloning, and several methods have been developed. Here, we present a new method based on double-restriction-enzyme digestion followed by anchored PCR. BAC DNA was digested with two enzymes: NotI and one of four enzymes (EcoRV, HpaI, StuI, or XmnI) that produce blunt termini. After dephosphorylation, these digestions were ligated to NotI- and EcoRV-digested pMSK, a new cloning vector developed in this work that is derived from pBluescript SK(+). PCR products representing the left- and right-terminal sequences of BAC inserts were obtained using a primer complementary to pMSK and a primer complementary to sequences in either the left arm or the right arm of the BAC vector pBeloBAC11. We have tested this method with 15 different BAC clones, and PCR products representing both the left- and right-terminal sequences have been obtained from all 15 BAC clones. This method is simple, fast, reproducible, and uses the same set of primers for any restriction enzyme used. With some modifications, it can also be used for isolating the terminal portions of genomic DNA cloned in yeast artificial chromosomes and P1-derived artificial chromosomes. Key words: BAC, anchored PCR, terminal sequence isolation, chromosome walk.

This paper reports a low-cost microthermostat that is able to maintain a constant temperature necessary for restriction enzyme digestion. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and Pyrex glass were used to make the microthermostat, because PDMS is a cheap and mass-producible material and both PDMS and glass have very good biocompatibility compared to the more commonly used silicon. A heater made of Au wiring patterned on Pyrex glass was used to control the temperature. A PDMS replica molding technique was used to fabricate a reaction chamber with 3.6 μl capacity. Restriction enzyme digestion was performed by using the fabricated microthermostat and by a conventional method. Then, using gel electrophoresis, we compared results between the microthermostat and conventional methods. It was found that restriction enzyme digestion using the microthermostat required 5 min of heating.
