This is the second report of this committee to the Human Gene Mapping Workshop. Because of the rapid progress in recombinant DNA research it was felt that a unified report on Recombinant DNA would continue to be useful. This report is substantially larger and more complex than the first report, and if the fie ld contiues to expand at its current rate, a reorganization of this committee could be essential. Table I is a comparison of the number of cloned genes, restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs), and arbitrary DNA fragments reported in June, 1981, at HGM 6, and August, 1983 at this conference. This table shows approximately a six-fold increase in the number of clones in each category, with the total number of cloned DNAs increasing from 57 DNA segments to 364 DNA segments.We have attempted to compile information on cloned genes and arbitrary DNA segments of interest to gene mapping. To accomplish this, a form for reporting cloned genes was derived from the more general form for reporting genes to the Yale Gene Mapping project. The form was developed at an RFLP workshop organized by Ray White and LL Cavalli-Sforza, held at the Howard Hughes Institute in Miami in January, 1983, where an update to the list of known RFLPs was compiled. This form was distributed to a large set of investigators this summer to increase our coverage of cloned genes and DNA segments. A copy of this form appears as an appendix to this report so that it can be used for reporting further cloned genes and polymorphisms.
