We report the structural organization of a segment of the human thyroglobulin gene, located 70kb from the 3' end of the gene, containing the exons 8 and 9 starting from the 3' end. Selected probes from this region have been used for the chromosomal mapping of the thyroglobulin gene by in situ hybridization techniques. Only one site in the human haploid karyotype is labeled with the genomic DNA probes. Twenty percent of the grains are localized on the long arm of chromosome 8, mostly in the subregion q-2-23 q-2-24 of the long arm of chromosome 8. The localization of the autoradiographic grains suggests a subregional assignment of the human thyroglobulin gene locus to 8q 2-23 or 8q 2-24.

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).
