Characterization of a human chromosome 8 cosmid library constructed from flow-sorted chromosomes

Abstract

A cosmid library for human chromosome 8 has been constructed from flow-sorted chromosomes in the vector sCos-1. This library is 85% human and has been arrayed into 210 microtiter plates representing four genome equivalents. Cosmids have been isolated with 10 of 11 probes representing nine different loci from chromosome 8.
