We have previously identified approximately 2,000 chromosome 2-specific YACs by screening the CEPH Mark I YAC library (`Midi- YACs`). Using STS content mapping, we have been able to order groups of these YACs along chromosome 2q. The four biggest YAC groups were associated with VIL (2q35), FN (2q34), PAX3 (2q36), ALPI (2q37) and contained 113, 107, 79, and 63 YACs, respectively. We have identified the minimal tiling paths for most YAC groups and determined the insert sizes of over 300 YACs. Furthermore, on human chromosome 2q31-q37, 15 microsatellite markers were linked to various expressed genes through overlapping YACs and the physical distance of microsatellites to expressed genes was determined. The precise mapping of a set of highly informative microsatellite markers with respect to known genes provides a useful tool for linkage studies and the identification of disease genes from the long arm of human chromosome 2.
