What Does PAC Stand For?
PAC stands for P1 Artificial Chromosome
PAC, or P1 Artificial Chromosome, refers to a vector used in genetic engineering and molecular biology for cloning large DNA fragments, typically ranging from 100 to 300 kilobases. Derived from the P1 bacteriophage, PACs facilitate the stable propagation of complex genomic sequences in host cells, making them valuable tools for genome mapping, sequencing, and functional studies. Their ability to accommodate larger inserts compared to traditional plasmids enhances their utility in research and biotechnology applications.
