INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON HUMAN CHROMOSOME 2

2号染色体占人类基因组的7%，包含270兆碱基。 DNA. 尽管2号染色体很大，但它积累标记的速度很慢。 最近，已经产生了大量新的标记物， 2号染色体，如DNA片段的数量所证明的， 2号染色体：在HGM9只有50个单拷贝DNA片段，在HGM9只有50个单拷贝DNA片段。 HCM 11有134个固定标记。 因此，现在我们将 能够开始构建2号染色体的图谱。 这样做的目的 研讨会的目的是整合来自许多实验室的数据， 2号染色体的连锁和辐射图。 这些地图将建立 地图的共同基础，确定重叠，并确定 需要决议。 研讨会将于1992年11月举行，为期两天 （前身为美国人类遗传学会）在旧金山弗朗西斯科。 会议的结构将是一系列简短的介绍， 每个实验室都参与了紧张的工作会议， 以解决地图中的不一致之处，并产生共识地图。

Chromosome 2 is 7% of the human genome and encompasses 270 megabases of DNA. Despite its size, chromosome 2 has been slow to accumulate markers. Recently, a large number of new markers have been generated for chromosome 2, as evidenced by the number of DNA segments assigned to chromosome 2: at HGM9 there were only 50 single copy DNA segments and at HCM11 there were 134 firmly assigned markers. Consequently, now we will be able to begin to construct maps for chromosome 2. The purpose of this workshop is to consolidate data from many labs to construct physical, linkage and radiation maps for chromosome 2. These maps will establish the common bases for the maps, identify overlap, and identify areas that need resolution. The workshop will be two days in November, 1992 (preceding the American Society of Human Genetics) in San Francisco. The structure of the meeting will be a series of short presentations by each of the laboratories involved followed by an intense working session to resolve inconsistencies in the map and to produce consensus maps.
