Chromosome mapping with DNA markers.

R White, J M Lalouel

    Scientific American
    |February 1, 1988
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    New restriction-fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP markers) can pinpoint disease genes on chromosomes and identify carriers. This mapping is a crucial step toward sequencing the entire human genome.
