title: Rapid cloning and characterization of new chromosome 10 DNA markers by Alu element-mediated PCR.
abstract: Alu element-mediated polymerase chain reaction is a strategy for rapidly cloning and mapping human DNA markers from mixed DNA sources. A novel primer homologous to the 3' end of the human Alu repeat element provides the basis for preferential synthesis of human DNA fragments from human/rodent somatic cell hybrid DNA template. This approach has been used to isolate a series of new markers from chromosome 10. The Alu element-mediated PCR probes were regionally assigned on chromosome 10 by hybridization to Southern blots of Alu PCR-synthesized DNA derived from somatic cell hybrid template DNA. Alu element-mediated PCR is generally applicable and makes possible the analysis of complex genomes with a speed and sensitivity that has not been previously possible.
