We have constructed a set of fragmentation vectors for the truncation of either the centromeric or the noncentromeric end of YACs containing a human DNA insert. These vectors carry ADE2 or HIS5 as the selectable marker, enabling direct use in AB1380, the host strain of most publicly available YAC libraries. Centromeric fragmentation vectors for AB1380 have not been reported previously; the noncentromeric vectors show high frequencies of fragmentation.
