We describe an integrated physical, genetic and cytogenetic map of hum
an chromosome 16 comprising both a low-resolution megaYAC map and a hi
gh-resolution cosmid contig/miniYAC map, which provides nearly complet
e coverage of the euchromatic arms of the chromosome. The physical map
is anchored to a high-resolution cytogenetic breakpoint map and is in
tegrated with genetic and gene transcript maps of the chromosome by se
quence-tagged sites and clone hybridizations.
