Fungal artificial chromosome (FAC) vectors are disclosed. A vector can be replicated in a bacterial or a fungal host, and can comprise an insert of heterologous DNA up to about 500 kilobases. A vector can be used for cloning and expressing a secondary metabolite (SM) gene cluster. An insert sequence can be modified by homologous recombination. A vector can be a plasmid comprising bacterial and fungal origins of replication, as well as bacterial and fungal selection marker genes. Also disclosed are vectors that can be integrated into a fungal genome, and dual function vectors which can be replicated in a bacterial or a fungal host and can also be integrated into a fungal genome. Also disclosed are methods of generating plasmid libraries including vectors comprising intact SM gene clusters.
