What you can do:
|
A database of sequence-tagged sites (STSs) and a user interface for mapping partial deletions in the male-specific region of the human Y chromosome (MSY).
|
|
Highlights:
|
- MSY Breakpoint Mapper is useful for efficiently and systematically defining the breakpoint(s) of virtually any naturally occurring Y chromosome deletion.
- When queried, this online database provides regionally targeted catalogs of STSs and nearby genes.
- In the course of mapping intact and aberrant Y chromosomes during the past two decades, we and our colleagues have developed robust PCR assays for 1287 Y-specific STSs.
- These PCR assays amplify 1698 loci at an average spacing of <14 kb across the MSY euchromatin.
