In July 2002, review of this white paper by the Genome Resources and Sequencing Priorities Panel (GRASPP) of the NHGRI (National Human Genome Research Institute) BAC Resource Steering Panel yielded a "high priority" recommendation. In cooperation with the NIH BAC resources program, a BAC library was produced that is now available to the research community.
