A 290-kilobase-pair chromosomal segment containing the genes encoding the human class I major histocompatibility complex molecules HLA-B and HLA-C as well as a class I pseudogene has been isolated on three overlapping yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones. One YAC clone contains both the HLA-B and HLA-C genes. These loci are located approximately 85 kilobase pairs apart, each in close association with a CpG island. Southern blotting and nucleotide sequencing showed no evidence of alteration of the structure of the cloned DNA in the YACs. End fragments from the YAC inserts have been isolated and used to confirm the overlaps between clones. These fragments can also serve as polymorphic markers for structural analysis of the major histocompatibility complex. Our data show that YAC cloning offers an attractive alternative for analysis of the structures of large gene complexes such as HLA.

D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).

D005805 Genes, MHC Class I Genetic loci in the vertebrate major histocompatibility complex which encode polymorphic characteristics not related to immune responsiveness or complement activity, e.g., B loci (chicken), DLA (dog), GPLA (guinea pig), H-2 (mouse), RT-1 (rat), HLA-A, -B, and -C class I genes of man.
