Abstract
Human DNA segments from discrete chromosomal regions were generated by utilizing Alu-element-based polymerase chain reaction (Alu-PCR) of an irradiation-fusion hybrid containing approximately 10 to 15 Mb of human DNA. Following cloning into a plasmid vector, a subset of the clones was used to generate sequence tagged sites (STSs) de novo. By means of a panel of hybrids containing portions of the human X chromosome, the STSs were shown to localize to two chromosomal regions, Xq24-Xq26 and Xcen-Xq13, reflecting the presence in the irradiation-fusion hybrid of two human chromosome fragments. These results demonstrate that high densities of STSs can be rapidly and efficiently generated from defined regions of the human genome using Alu-PCR.Entities:
