title: A contiguous high-resolution radiation hybrid map of 44 loci from the distal portion of the long arm of human chromosome 5.
abstract: A contiguous high-resolution map of 44 loci from a 35-Mb portion of the distal region of the long arm of human chromosome 5, q21-q35, was produced using radiation hybrid (RH) mapping in conjunction with a natural deletion mapping panel. The map includes 30 genes, four sequence-tagged site (STS) loci, and 10 DNA markers. Newly mapped markers fill two gap regions that were present in previous maps, between markers FER-IL4 and IL3-IL9. Identifying the position of genes on the physical map aids in positional cloning efforts and contributes to our understanding of the overall organization of the human genome.
