Mapping of human chromosomes
Book
·
OSTI ID:56715
Chapter 31, is devoted to the mapping of human chromosomes. In 1990, a useful progress report appeared in the journal Science along with a beautiful wall chart of the Human Genome Map, which right now is only about 1% complete. The Human Genome Project launched by the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Energy aims at producing a complete sequence of the 3 x 10{sup 9} base pairs of DNA in the human genome within the next 15 years. This chapter describes identifying map sites, family studies, somatic cell genetics, chromosome rearrangements, other uses of deletions and translocations in mapping, in situ hybridization, and recombinant DNA gene mapping methods. 51 refs., 4 figs.
