title: Integration of 101 DNA markers across human Xp11 using a panel of somatic cell hybrids.
abstract: One hundred and one DNA markers previously assigned to the short arm of the human X chromosome were localized on a hybrid mapping panel consisting of ten radiation-reduced, and four classical somatic cell hybrids. Of the 101 DNA markers, 16 are genes, two are pseudogenes, 13 are expressed sequence tags, 32 are simple tandem repeats (STRs), four are restriction fragment length polymorphisms, one is a variable number of tandem repeats, and 33 are sequence tagged sites (STSs). Three of these markers, two STSs and one STR, were generated from the products of an inter-Alu PCR library of a radiation-reduced hybrid containing Xp11.4-->p11.22 as its only human DNA content. A second STR was isolated from a region-specific cosmid containing the gene ZNF21. The 101 DNA markers fell into 22 bins based on their retention on the hybrids of this panel, which, in combination with YAC contig data, could be further resolved into 24 bins. This hybrid map of Xp11 has an average resolution of approximately 0.8 Mb.
