THE X CHROMOSOME SEQUENCE

An exhibit accompanying
the ESHG 2004 conference in Munich
Saturday June 12th 20:00 h, International Congress Centre Munich

Introduction Literature Sequence Legends Acknowledgements
A
Unique sequences:upper case letters
Repeat sequences:lower case letters
Sequence gaps:N
Transcriptional units:red
Exons:dark red
Repeats outside transcriptional units:green
The software RepeatMasker has been used to define repeat sequences. Where possible, gene names are used according to the HUGO nomenclature committee. In other cases genes were named according to accession numbers or clone names. Sequence coordinates are given for each transcriptional unit and denote start and end of longest available transcripts.

B X chromosome after GTG-banding.
C FISH-hybridisation pattern of the X chromosome.
Cross-hybridisation of the Y chromosome to the X chromosome is visible as bands representing the PAR1 (Xp22.3) and the XY-HR (Xp21.3). PAR2 (Xq28) is not detected with the probe set used. (Azofeifa et al. Am J Hum Genet 66:1684-88, 2000)
