title: Identification and localization of microsatellite markers covering human chromosome 18.
abstract: To generate microsatellite markers from chromosome 18, we have cytogenetically localized a large number of lambda phage using a deletion mapping panel of somatic cell hybrids. Here we describe the identification of 65 new CA-repeat-containing phage and the localization of five markers developed in other laboratories. This approach allows the selection of a subset of markers that are well spaced across the chromosome and can be developed as genetic markers. The use of PCR-based markers should allow for the rapid genomic screening of disease genes on chromosome 18.
