From what I gather, second/third had, Cohen's group
had YAC contig maps completed for all the human chromosomes.
This is very exciting news but only the first-generation map.
Much more work is needed to get from here to a sequence ready
map.
Hats off to Cohen and co-workers for providing us all
with this very useful and much needed data. What a great present
to be given for this holiday season. On to the next stages of
finer mapping and large scale sequencing!!
The following was posted to bionet.general and I'm including it
here for those who missed it:
