A method based on the differential screening of a chromosome-specific cosmid library with amplified inter-Alu sequences obtained from a set of somatic cell hybrids has been developed to target the isolation of probes from predefined subchromosomal regions. As a model system, we have used a chromosome 22-specific cosmid library and four cell hybrids containing different parts of this chromosome. The procedure has identified cosmids that demonstrate differential hybridization signals with Alu-PCR products from these cell hybrids. We show, by in situ hybridization or individual mapping, that their hybridization pattern is indicative of their sublocalization on chromosome 22, thus resulting in a large enrichment factor for the isolation of probes from specific small chromosome subregions. Depending on the local Alu-sequence density, from 3 to 10 independent loci per megabase of genome can thus be identified.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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).
