The gene for human transcription factor TCF11 is located telomeric to D17S1827, BTR and HP1Hsbeta on chromosome 17q22.

摘要

We report the screening of thirty-one YACs with a number of markers using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to construct a physical map of part of human chromosome 17q21.3-q22. A contig of YACs covering about 4 Mb was constructed around the TCF11 gene at 68 cM from the most telomeric marker on the p arm, localizing TCF11 telomeric to genetic marker D17S1827. Both human and mouse P1-derived artificial chromosomes (PACs) containing TCF11 were isolated and characterized. The human heterochromatin protein 1 gene, HP1Hsbeta, and its homologue in mouse, MoMOD1, were identified centromeric to TCF11.
