To complete a transcription map of the 1 Mb region in human chromosome 4p16.3 containing the Huntington disease (HD) gene, the isolation of cDNA clones are being performed throughout. Our method relies on a direct screening of the cDNA libraries probed with single copy microclones from 3 YAC clones spanning 1 Mbp of the HD gene region. AC-DNAs were isolated by a preparative pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, amplified by both a single unique primer (SUP)-PCR and a linker ligation PCR, and 6 microclone-DNA libraries were generated. Then, 8,640 microclones from these libraries were independently amplified by PCR, and arrayed onto the membranes. 800-900 microclones that were not cross-hybridized with total human and yeast genomic DNA, TAC vector DNA, and ribosomal cDNA on a dot hybridization (putatively carrying single copy sequences) were pooled to make 9 probe pools. A total of {approximately}1.8x10{sup 7} plaques from the human brain cDNA libraries was screened with 9 pool-probes, and then 672 positive cDNA clones were obtained. So far, 597 cDNA clones were defined and arrayed onto a map of the 1 Mbp of the HD gene region by hybridization with HD region-specific cosmid contigs and YAC clones. Further characterization including a DNA sequencing and Northern blot analysis is currently underway.
