title: Mapping of the human CENP-B gene to chromosome 20 and the CENP-C gene to chromosome 12 by a rapid cycle DNA amplification procedure.
abstract: By optimizing the primer-annealing temperature in a rapid air cycling procedure, two human DNA sequences encoding centromere proteins B and C (CENP-B and CENP-C) were specifically amplified without any detectable amplification of highly homologous rodent DNA sequences. Using a panel of rodent/human hybrid DNA, the genes for human CENP-B and CENP-C were conveniently mapped to chromosomes 20 and 12, respectively.
