F plasmid, BACs, Fosmid cloning vector - Fosmids are small BACs (Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes)

References/Resources:   / the_crux   This video discusses the general biology of F plasmids, Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes, BACs, and Fosmids. We start the origin of high capacity cloning vectors with the F plasmids and the development of mini F vectors. This was the inspiration for BACs which went through a few iterations involving retrofits and screening markers. Fosmids were developed at the same time as BACs, eventually leading to the conclusion that Fosmids are just BACs with smaller insert sizes that behave like cosmids.
