A cosmid clone (CosHcol.11) containing the alpha 2(XI) collagen gene (COL11A2) has been isolated. The gene contains conserved DNA and amino-acid sequences characteristic of fibril forming collagen, which is in accordance with the classification of type XI collagen as a fibrillar collagen. The genomic clone containing the alpha 2(XI) gene has been used as probe in the Southern blot analysis of DNA from a panel of human/hamster somatic cell hybrids containing different numbers and combinations of human chromosomes. Synteny analysis revealed that only chromosome 6 showed complete concordant segregation with COL11A2. Furthermore, the gene was regionally mapped to the short arm of chromosome 6 by using a hybrid which contained only the long arm of the chromosome.

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.

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).
