- Purpose
A high-complexity barcode library that “enables the high-resolution tracking of more than 1 million cancer cells under drug treatment”.
This library is offered in two sizes, depending on the number of cell lines you want to barcode.

Depositor Comments
Current stock of the library can be used for experiments of less than or equal to 1 million total cell infections.
NOTE: Lentiviral vectors can recombine during library amplification, resulting in an ~1kb band containing the origin and ampicillin resistance cassette. This recombination product should not adversely affect library function as it does not contain lentiviral packaging sequences or the PuroR gene and will not be selected during experiments.
A recombinant band has been detected in the parent stock of ClonTracer. The concentration of DNA on our website reflects the concentration of the unrecombined plasmid pool and can be used for barcoding as described in the associated protocol.
The proportion of the recombinant band in the pool will increase upon subsequent amplifications. Gel purification will eliminate most of this recombinant band (see example gel) and does not alter barcode representation. If the sample is to be used for amplification, we recommend starting with a larger prep (gigaprep) from the original sample or gel purifying the amplified library to remove the recombinant band and performing another amplification with the purified sample.
