P1-derived artificial chromosome
A P1-derived artificial chromosome is a DNA construct that was derived from the DNA of P1 bacteriophage. It can carry large amounts of other sequences for a variety of bioengineering purposes. It is one type of vector used to clone DNA fragments in Escherichia coli cells.
P1 was developed as a cloning vector by Nat Sternberg and colleagues in the 1990s.
