title: Direct mapping of the human TATA box-binding protein (TBP) gene to 6q27 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
abstract: TBP (TATA box-binding protein) participates in the expression of eukaryotic genes transcribed by RNA polymerases I, II, and III. Molecular cloning of human TBP revealed that the N-terminal region contains a polymorphic (CAG)n repeat. We report here the direct localization of human TBP gene to chromosome 6q2705-->qter region by fluorescence in situ hybridization, using the cDNA clone with or without the (CAG)n repeat as a probe.
