Abstract:
The NIGMS Human Genetic Cell Repository has assembled regional mapping panels for human chromosomes 1, 2, and 7 from human rodent somatic cell hybrids submitted to the collection by researchers from 14 different laboratories. All hybrids were characterized initially by the submitters and verified by the Repository. Each hybrid carries a stable defined human segment as a derivative or deletion chromosome. These panels define 8-10 intervals for each chromosome. The panel for chromosome 2 is a new resource. The panels for chromosomes 1 and 7 complement previously published panels. The Repository distributes these regional mapping panels as cell cultures or as DNA. Information about these panels as well as for panels for chromosomes 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 22, and X may be viewed in the NIGMS Repository electronic catalog (http://locus.umdnj.edu/nigms).
