Unique ID: D018244
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D018244
Annotation: coordinate with specific yeast /‌genet only if particularly discussed
Scope Note: Chromosomes in which fragments of exogenous DNA ranging in length up to several hundred kilobase pairs have been cloned into yeast through ligation to vector sequences. These artificial chromosomes are used extensively in molecular biology for the construction of comprehensive genomic libraries of higher organisms.
