We constructed maps for eight chromosomes (1, 6, 9, 10, 13, 20, X and (previously) 22), representing one-third of the genome, by building landmark maps, isolating bacterial clones and assembling contigs. By this approach, we could establish the long-range organization of the maps early in the project, and all contig extension, gap closure and problem-solving was simplified by containment within local regions. The maps currently represent more than 94% of the euchromatic (gene-containing) regions of these chromosomes in 176 contigs, and contain 96% of the chromosome-specific markers in the human gene map. By measuring the remaining gaps, we can assess chromosome length and coverage in sequenced clones.
我们通过构建地标图谱、分离细菌克隆和组装重叠群,为代表基因组三分之一的八条染色体(1、6、9、10、13、20、X以及之前的22号染色体)构建了图谱。通过这种方法,我们能够在项目早期就确定图谱的长程组织,并且由于局限在局部区域内,所有重叠群的延伸、缺口填补和问题解决都得到了简化。目前这些图谱在176个重叠群中代表了这些染色体常染色质(含基因)区域的94%以上,并且包含人类基因图谱中96%的染色体特异性标记。通过测量剩余的缺口,我们可以评估测序克隆中的染色体长度和覆盖度。
