R. Nagaraja et al., YAC STS MAP OF 15 MB OF XP21.3-P11.3, AT 100 KB RESOLUTION, WITH REFINED COMPARISONS OF GENETIC DISTANCES AND DMD STRUCTURE/, Gene, 215(2), 1998, pp. 259-267
The 15 Mb region between DXS997 and DXS8054 in Xp21.3-p11.3 has been m
apped at seven-fold average coverage in yeast artificial chromosomes (
YACs) and 100 kb inter-sequence tagged site (STS) distance. YACs from
six different collections show self-consistent maps. The STSs include
18 (CA) repeat and one tetranucleotide repeat marker that detect polym
orphism, as well as eight well-studied genes, a second site for MXS1 s
equences, and three expressed sequence tags (ESTs). One of the ESTs ma
ps to intron 7 of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and seems to be a proce
ssed intronic sequence with a poly(A) tail. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science
