An extensive physical map of the Leishmania major Friedlin genome has been assembled by the combination of fingerprint analysis of a shuttle vector cosmid library and probe hybridization. The integrated data obtained for 9004 fingerprinted clones and 974 probes have placed 91.2% of the 33.58-Mb genome into contigs representing each of the 36 chromosomes. This first-generation map has already provided a suitable framework for both high-throughput DNA sequencing and functional studies of the L. major parasite.
通过穿梭载体黏粒文库的指纹分析与探针杂交相结合,构建了硕大利什曼原虫弗里德林株基因组的精细物理图谱。对9004个经指纹分析的克隆和974个探针获得的整合数据,已将33.58 Mb基因组的91.2%定位到代表36条染色体中每一条的重叠群中。这一第一代图谱已为硕大利什曼原虫的高通量DNA测序和功能研究提供了合适的框架。
