Irradiation and fusion gene transfer.
Irradiation and fusion gene transfer (IFGT) is a technique that spans the gap between the limitations of molecular methods and somatic-cell genetics, allowing the separation of DNA fragments between 0.25 and 30 Mb in size. In conjunction with genetic linkage analysis and physical mapping techniques, IFGT provides a very useful addition to methods for cloning disease loci, and mapping chromosomes and entire genomes.
