Abstract

We localized 291 new cosmid markers (including 65 RFLPs) on human chromosome 3 by direct R-banding fluorescence in situ hybridization. This system, which is based on fluorescence in situ hybridization combined with replicated prometaphase R-bands, allows the direct visualization of signals on R-banded prometaphases stained with propidium iodide and provides a more rapid and efficient method for genome mapping of cosmid clones. The signals of 291 markers examined here were localized preferentially to R-positive bands throughout chromosome 3. The detailed map positions of 366 clones and the characterization of 142 RFLPs, including the preliminary data reported by Yamakawa et al. (1991, Genomics 9: 536–543; and 11: 565–572), are summarized. This high-resolution cytogenetic map (average distance of 0.58 Mb), in conjunction with a genetic linkage map, can facilitate the analysis of chromosomal and molecular aberrations in genetic diseases and cancers. Furthermore, these mapping data will provide many useful landmarks for the construction of contig maps of chromosome 3.
