Construction of a YAC contig covering human chromosome 6p22.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A contig covering human chromosome 6p22 that consists of 134 YAC clones aligned based on the presence/absence of 52 DNA markers is presented. This contig overlaps with the 6p23 contig at its telomeric end and with the 6p21.3 contig at its centromeric end. The order of loci within the contig resolves the relative positions of several genetically mapped markers. Among the additional markers used here, there are eight novel PCR assays. The 12 known genes and anonymous ESTs located within the contig establish a first step toward a transcriptional map of this region. The instability of YAC clones observed during this work is also discussed.

Genetic and physical mapping of the progressive epilepsy with mental retardation (EPMR) locus on chromosome 8p.
Progressive epilepsy with mental retardation (EPMR) is an autosomal recessive disorder discovered recently from an isolated region in Finland. The disorder is characterized by normal early development, generalized tonic-clonic seizures with onset at 5-10 years of age, and progressive mental retardation beginning 2-5 years after the onset of seizures. We recently mapped the EPMR locus to a 7-cM ...

The childhood spinal muscular atrophies (SMAs) are the most common, serious neuromuscular disorders of childhood second to Duchenne muscular dystrophy. A single locus for these disorders has been mapped by recombination events to a region of 0.7 centimorgan (range, 0.1-2.1 centimorgans) between loci D5S435 and MAP1B on chromosome 5q11.2-13.3. By using PCR amplification to screen yeast artificia...
متن کاملFunctional evidence for a metastasis suppressor gene for rat prostate cancer within a 60-kilobase region on human chromosome 8p21-p12.
We recently demonstrated that the human chromosome 8p21-p12 region encodes a metastasis suppressor gene for rat prostate cancer. The presence of this region suppresses the metastatic ability of rat prostate cancer cells (N. Nihei et al., Genes Chromosomes Cancer, 17: 260-268, 1996). To define further the region harboring the metastasis suppressor gene, a truncated human chromosome 8 containing ...
متن کاملPhysical mapping of rice chromosomes 8 and 9 with YAC clones.
First efforts for physical mapping of rice chromosomes 8 and 9 were carried out by ordering YAC clones of a rice genomic DNA library covering six genome equivalents with mapped DNA markers. A total of 79 and 74 markers from chromosomes 8 and 9, respectively, were analyzed by YAC colony and Southern hybridization using RFLP markers of cDNA and genomic clones, and by polymerase chain reaction (PC...
متن کاملA yeast artificial chromosome contig encompassing the type 1 neurofibromatosis gene.
The yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) system (Burke et al., 1987, Science 236: 806-812) allows the direct cloning of large regions of the genome. A YAC contig map of approximately 700 kb encompassing the region surrounding the type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1) locus on 17q11.2 has been constructed. A single YAC containing the entire NF1 locus has been constructed by homologous recombination in yea...
