Construction of pBACode cloning vectors. (A) A pBACode-1 pool is generated by PCR amplification using pcc2FOS as a template. The 3΄ ends of primers are complementary to the vector sequences flanking the cloning sites so that the whole pcc2FOS vector except for its cloning sites is amplified. The 5΄ ends of the primers carry the cloning sites followed by 20-bp random sequences. (B) A pBACode-2 pool is generated by a combination of PCR amplification and subcloning. First, an intermediate vector is constructed based on pcc2FOS such that its lacZ sequence is replaced by an I-SceI site. The second intermediate vector is constructed by inserting the kanR selection gene marker into the cloning site of pcc2FOS, and then the lacZ-kanR-lacZ segment is amplified using primers containing random barcodes. The resulting PCR product is subcloned into the first intermediate vector. Kanamycin selection is used to eliminate no-insert vectors.
