A cosmid contig physical map of human chromosome 16 has been developed by repetitive sequence finger-printing of approximately 4000 cosmid clones obtained from a chromosome 16-specific cosmid library. The arrangement of clones in contigs is determined by (1) estimating cosmid length and determining the likelihoods for all possible pairwise clone overlaps, using the fingerprint data, and (2) using an optimization technique to fit contig maps to these estimates. Two important questions concerning this contig map are how much of chromosome 16 is covered and how accurate are the assembled contigs. Both questions can be addressed by hybridization of single-copy sequence probes to gridded arrays of the cosmids. All of the fingerprinted clones have been arrayed on nylon membranes so that any region of interest can be identified by hybridization. The hybridization experiments indicate that approximately 84% of the euchromatic arms of chromosome 16 are covered by contigs and singleton cosmids. Both grid hybridization (26 contigs) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis experiments (11 contigs) confirmed the assembled contigs, indicating that false positive overlaps occur infrequently in the present map. Furthermore, regional localization of 93 contigs and singleton cosmids to a somatic cell hybrid mapping panel indicates that there is no bias in the coverage of the euchromatic arms.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).

D002871 Chromosome Banding Staining of bands, or chromosome segments, allowing the precise identification of individual chromosomes or parts of chromosomes. Applications include the determination of chromosome rearrangements in malformation syndromes and cancer, the chemistry of chromosome segments, chromosome changes during evolution, and, in conjunction with cell hybridization studies, chromosome mapping.

D016172 DNA Fingerprinting A technique for identifying individuals of a species that is based on the uniqueness of their DNA sequence. Uniqueness is determined by identifying which combination of allelic variations occur in the individual at a statistically relevant number of different loci. In forensic studies, RESTRICTION FRAGMENT LENGTH POLYMORPHISM of multiple, highly polymorphic VNTR LOCI or MICROSATELLITE REPEAT loci are analyzed. The number of loci used for the profile depends on the ALLELE FREQUENCY in the population.
