The percentage-completed figure is based on an estimate of the total amount of DNA in each chromosome. These data are taken from GDB and GenBank. Published overlapping clone contigs of 1 Mb or more or ordered sets of contigs essentially covering a chromosomal region of 1 Mb or more are diagramed. The total length of contigs localized to the chromosome is shown, and an estimate of the percentage of the chromosome covered by contigs is provided. The percentage-completed figure is based on an estimate of the total amount of DNA in each chromosome.
Data are from primary publications.
Total number of mapped genes is shown. The percentage-completed number is based on an estimate of 100,000 genes in the human genome and assumes that genes are distributed proportionate to chromosome length. Sex-averaged linkage maps are shown. High-resolution and framework maps will be added as they become available. All unique anonymous DNA segment markers that can be assayed with polymerase chain reaction primers are included.
