Human Chromosome 13 Maps & Data


How the maps are generated

Our approach involves hybridization of the inter-Alu PCR products of CEPH YACs to a chromosome 13 cosmid library (Los Alamos LA13NC01). All cosmids identified in a YAC bin are hybridized to each other (via riboprobes generated from their ends) to establish cosmid contigs. From sequence at one end of a subset of these cosmids, we generate STSs. Finally, assorted genes, cDNAs and other markers have been hybridized or PCR'd to CH13 YACs and occasionally to cosmids. Thus, there are several relationships which exist and are displayed in this database:
