MeSH definition : 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.;
MeSH annotation : coord with specific yeast /genet only if particularly discussed; DF: note short X
ref; coordinate with specific yeast /genet only if particularly discussed;
