Abstract:Four yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) contigs, physically approximately 8 Mb, have been constructed spanning a 10-cM region on mouse proximal chromosome 18 and include the sites of 21 known genes, including those near the twirler (Tw) locus and the recently isolated Niemann-Pick type C1 (npc1) gene, formerly designated as the spm locus. This physical map consists of 49 YAC clones that cover roughly 15% of the chromosome. The physical order of 38 microsatellite sequence-tagged sites (STSs) could be assembled and confirmed based on their presence or absence in individual YACs, from proximal D18Mit109 through distal D18Mit68. These YACs provide an important resource for the further characterization and identification of known and unknown genes. The physical map has been integrated with our previously published genetic linkage map and showed an average genetic to physical distance of cM/Mb > 1.1.
