If you wanted to clone a sequence of DNA - 200 kb long - what vector should you use?

For cloning a 200 kb DNA sequence, a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) vector would be suitable due to its large insert capacity, stability, and ability to maintain large DNA fragments intact. BAC vectors can accommodate DNA inserts up to 300 kb in size, making them ideal for cloning large DNA fragments accurately.
