  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-001093",
  "term": "Bacterial artificial chromosome",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A DNA construct, derived from a bacterial F-plasmid, used for cloning and stably maintaining large DNA fragments in bacterial cells. These vectors can carry inserts up to 300 kilobase pairs, making them suitable for genomic library construction and physical mapping of complex genomes. They are widely used in genome sequencing projects, including the Human Genome Project.",
