Fifty sequence-tagged sites (STSs) from human chromosome region, 11q13.4-->q25 were identified in microdissection-generated microclones. From a total of 124 single-copy microclones obtained from regions 11q14-->q22 and 11q23-->q25, 59 were sequenced, and a PCR primer pair was designed for each of them. Fifty of the 59 clones were mapped to regions ranging from 11q13.4 to 11q25 by means of PCR on a somatic hybrid cell panel with various deletions of the long arm of human chromosome 11. These STSs will contribute to the construction of physical cosmid/YAC maps representing the chromosome regions. They are also useful for analysis of chromosome aberrations, such as translocations, inversions or marker chromosomes.
