Physical mapping of 43 STSs to human chromosome 6.

Abstract

We have localized 43 sequence-tagged sites by deletion mapping using a chromosome 6 panel of 18 translocation hybrids. Thirty-four loci were mapped to the long arm of chromosome 6, and 9 were mapped to 6p. Many of the loci contain (CA)n dinucleotide repeated sequences and therefore will be useful markers for mapping genes on chromosome 6.
