A region-specific microdissection library originating from human chromosome 17q21, was constructed using the MboI linker-adaptor microcloning technique. DNA sequencing of 241 microclones resulted in the identification of 74 novel coding sequences, paralogs of known genes, and known, but previously unmapped, genes or expressed sequence tags that were "virtually" mapped to chromosome 17q21. By pooling the microclones as multiplexed hybridization probes, and by virtue of their origin on 17q21, we were able to identify approximately 150 P1 clones from the human Reference Library Data Base P1 Library that potentially map to chromosome 17q21. Verification of the 17q21 location of 16 P1 clones was accomplished by PCR analysis with STS primer pairs to known 17q21 genes or by FISH. Our results demonstrate the substantial advantage of combining the sequence analysis of microclones with multiplex hybridization strategies for gene discovery and mapping specific gene rich regions of the genome.

D015723 Gene Library A large collection of DNA fragments cloned (CLONING, MOLECULAR) from a given organism, tissue, organ, or cell type. It may contain complete genomic sequences (GENOMIC LIBRARY) or complementary DNA sequences, the latter being formed from messenger RNA and lacking intron 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.
