To generate sequence-ready templates for the gene-rich Xp11.23 region, we have constructed a 1.5-Mb bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) contig spanning the interval between the DNA markers OATL1 and DXS255. The contig includes 28 BACs, ranging in size from 58 to 258 kb with an average size of 135 kb, which provide 2.5-fold coverage of the region. The BAC contig was constructed based entirely on the content of 40 DNA markers from a previously established YAC contig and 11 new markers developed from BAC-end DNA sequences, 4 of which were required to close gaps in the map. There was no evidence of rearrangement, instability, or chimerism in any of the BAC clones. The BAC cloning system appears to provide robust and total physical coverage of this gene-rich region with clones that are suitable for DNA sequencing.

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).

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.

D016324 Sequence Tagged Sites Short tracts of DNA sequence that are used as landmarks in GENOME mapping. In most instances, 200 to 500 base pairs of sequence define a Sequence Tagged Site (STS) that is operationally unique in the human genome (i.e., can be specifically detected by the polymerase chain reaction in the presence of all other genomic sequences). The overwhelming advantage of STSs over mapping landmarks defined in other ways is that the means of testing for the presence of a particular STS can be completely described as information in a database.
