Optical mapping of BAC clones from the human Y chromosome DAZ locus.

چکیده
The accurate mapping of clones derived from genomic regions containing complex arrangements of repeated elements presents special problems for DNA sequencers. Recent advances in the automation of optical mapping have enabled us to map a set of 16 BAC clones derived from the DAZ locus of the human Y chromosome long arm, a locus in which the entire DAZ gene as well as subsections within the gene copies have been duplicated. High-resolution optical mapping employing seven enzymes places these clones into two contigs representing four distinct copies of the DAZ gene and highlights a number of differences between individual copies of DAZ.

Four DAZ genes in two clusters found in the AZFc region of the human Y chromosome.
The DAZ genes are candidate fertility factors that lie within the human Y chromosome's AZFc region, whose deletion is a common cause of spermatogenic failure. The number of DAZ genes has been difficult to determine, in part because the nucleotide sequences of the DAZ genes are nearly identical. Here, fluorescence in situ hybridization and characterization of BAC clones revealed four full-length...
متن کاملAnalysis of the 1.1-Mb Human a/d T-Cell Receptor Locus with Bacterial Artificial Chromosome Clones
Bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones are effective mapping and sequencing reagents. The 1.1-Mb a/d T-cell receptor locus of humans was mapped and partially sequenced with BAC clones. Seventeen BAC clones covered the 1.1-Mb a/d locus, with the exception of one small gap that was expected from the coverage that a 3.7-fold BAC library is likely to provide. The end sequences of the BAC inse...
متن کاملI-49: Human Y Chromosome ProteomeProject
The success of the Human Genome Project (HGP) has provided a blueprint for the approximately 20,000 gene-encoded proteins potentially active in all of the hundreds of cell types that make up the human body. Yet we still have limited knowledge about a majority of the gene-encoded proteins which are the “building blocks of life” and “cellular machinery”. It is estimated that for nearly half of th...
متن کاملPhysical Mapping in a Triplicated Genome: Mapping the Downy Mildew Resistance Locus Pp523 in Brassica oleracea L.
We describe the construction of a BAC contig and identification of a minimal tiling path that encompass the dominant and monogenically inherited downy mildew resistance locus Pp523 of Brassica oleracea L. The selection of BAC clones for construction of the physical map was carried out by screening gridded BAC libraries with DNA overgo probes derived from both genetically mapped DNA markers flan...
متن کاملGenMapDB: a database of mapped human BAC clones
GenMapDB (http://genomics.med.upenn.edu/genmapdb) is a repository of human bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones mapped by our laboratory to sequence-tagged site markers. Currently, GenMapDB contains over 3000 mapped clones that span 19 chromosomes, chromosomes 2, 4, 5, 9-22, X and Y. This database provides positional information about human BAC clones from the RPCI-11 human male BAC lib...
