We have constructed a physical and transcript map of 5q31,3-qter. The
contig comprises 173 yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) to which 159
sequence tagged sites (STSs), 47 expressed sequence tags (ESTs), and 3
2 genes were assigned. Previously published partial YAC contigs of the
region have been refined and integrated. Given that the region contai
ns 25Mbp of DNA the average spacing of markers is approximately 100 kb
.
