title: A physical map of the human Y-chromosome short arm.
abstract: A physical map of the Y-chromosome short arm was constructed using DNA probes p19B, Y-286/la5, pZFY, Y-280, and Y-227. These probes hybridize with four NotI fragments of 400 kb (p19B and Y-286/la5), 350 kb, 1.9 Mb, and 3.0 Mb, respectively. The restriction fragments were shown to be adjacent to each other by analysis of NotI partial digests, overlapping restriction fragments, and/or the detection of rearranged restriction fragments in a 46,XX male. The present map covers approximately 5.6 Mb of contiguous DNA of Yp. Previously, the size of the pseudoautosomal region was estimated to be 2.3 Mb, and a 5.3-Mb NotI fragment containing Y-specific repeated DNA was assigned to proximal Yp. These and the present data account for approximately 13 Mb and thus for most of the DNA content of the Y short arm.
