DNA: cDNA Insert lengths(kb): 1.850000023841858 Tissue: fetal muscle Gene product: dystrophin (muscular dystrophy, Duchenne and Becker types), includes DXS142, DXS164, DXS206, DXS230, DXS239, DXS268, DXS269, DXS270, DXS272 [DMD] Alleles: U2, A1, A2, C1, T1, U1, A1, A1, A2, A2, B1, B2, C2, D2, R1, R2, T1, T2, T2, T3, D1 |
| Comments |
For plasmid amplification, use a lac Iq host. Inserted into EcoRI site with 5' end closer to T7 promoter. Contains internal HincII and BglII sites. ATCC 57670 has been converted to meet the requirements of the Budapest Treaty for patent deposits. A compliance form is not needed for ATCC 57670, but is for ATCC 57671. Of the DMD cDNA clones, 1-2a includes nucleotides 1-1538; 2b-3: 1455 to approximately 2600; 4-5a: 2600-4550; 5b-7: 4400-6900; 8: 6900-7800; 9-14: 7800-13900 (in base pairs from the 5' end of the cDNA). Includes probes 4 and 5a. Detects genomic HindIII fragments of 7.3, 11, 20, 5.2, 12, 4.7, and 18 kb. |
