As part of our effort to clone positionally the oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) gene, we constructed a YAC contig, a cosmid contig, and an EcoRI restriction map of the OPMD candidate region. The YAC contig spans more than 2 Mb and encompasses the loci D14S283 and D14S990 and the cardiac alpha and beta myosin heavy chain genes (MYH6 and MYH7). A 700-kb cosmid contig containing the D14S990 and the myosin genes and a long-range restriction map covering the region between D14S990 and the MYH6 and MYH7 gene cluster were established. A detailed EcoRI restriction map of the cosmid contig was determined, and five putative CpG islands were identified. Based on these data, the four loci were mapped within an approximately 600-kb region with the following centromere to telomere order: D14S283, D14S990, MYH6, and MYH7. The YAC and cosmid contigs will facilitate the identification of genes lying within the OPMD candidate interval.

D010609 Pharyngeal Muscles The muscles of the PHARYNX are voluntary muscles arranged in two layers. The external circular layer consists of three constrictors (superior, middle, and inferior). The internal longitudinal layer consists of the palatopharyngeus, the salpingopharyngeus, and the stylopharyngeus. During swallowing, the outer layer constricts the pharyngeal wall and the inner layer elevates pharynx and LARYNX.

D016386 Chromosome Walking A technique with which an unknown region of a chromosome can be explored. It is generally used to isolate a locus of interest for which no probe is available but that is known to be linked to a gene which has been identified and cloned. A fragment containing a known gene is selected and used as a probe to identify other overlapping fragments which contain the same gene. The nucleotide sequences of these fragments can then be characterized. This process continues for the length of the chromosome. Chromosome Walkings,Walking, Chromosome,Walkings, Chromosome
D016521 Electrophoresis, Gel, Pulsed-Field Gel electrophoresis in which the direction of the electric field is changed periodically. This technique is similar to other electrophoretic methods normally used to separate double-stranded DNA molecules ranging in size up to tens of thousands of base-pairs. However, by alternating the electric field direction one is able to separate DNA molecules up to several million base-pairs in length.
