TY - JOUR A1 - Warrington, J A A1 - Wasmuth, J J T1 - A contiguous high-resolution radiation hybrid map of 44 loci from the distal portion of the long arm of human chromosome 5. Y1 - 1996/07/01 JF - Genome Research JO - Genome Research SP - 628 EP - 632 DO - 10.1101/gr.6.7.628 VL - 6 IS - 7 UR - http://genome.cshlp.org/content/6/7/628.abstract N2 - A contiguous high-resolution map of 44 loci from a 35-Mb portion of the distal region of the long arm of human chromosome 5, q21-q35, was produced using radiation hybrid (RH) mapping in conjunction with a natural deletion mapping panel. The map includes 30 genes, four sequence-tagged site (STS) loci, and 10 DNA markers. Newly mapped markers fill two gap regions that were present in previous maps, between markers FER-IL4 and IL3-IL9. Identifying the position of genes on the physical map aids in positional cloning efforts and contributes to our understanding of the overall organization of the human genome. ER -
