Existing, approved, and proposed primate BAC libraries. Generally accepted phylogeny and divergence times in millions of years (*) (Goodman, 1999) and biomedical relevance of proposed libraries (shaded blue) are summarized. Existing libraries (Human (RPCI-11,13,14,15), chimpanzee (RPCI43, CHORI251), macaque (CHORI250), and baboon (RPCI-41) are available from BACPAC Resources, Children's Hospital, Oakland Research Institute (http://www.chori.org/bacpac). The construction of libraries for the orangutan, squirrel monkey, and vervet monkey (a.k.a. African green monkey) were approved (01/15/02) by the BAC Library Resource Network.
