Journal ArticleDOI
Localization of the X inactivation centre on the human X chromosome in Xq13
Carolyn J. Brown,Ronald G. Lafreniere,Vicki E. Powers,Gianfranco Sebastio,Andrea Ballabio,Anjana L. Pettigrew,David H. Ledbetter,Elaine R. Levy,Ian W. Craig,Huntington F. Willard +9 more
TL;DR: An analysis of several rearranged human X chromosomes is reported and a minimal region of overlap is defined that is consistent with models invoking a single XIC and provide a molecular foothold for cloning and analysing the XIC region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of restriction fragment length polymorphisms at the centromeres of human chromosomes by using chromosome-specific alpha satellite DNA probes: implications for development of centromere-based genetic linkage maps
Huntington F. Willard,John S. Waye,Mark H. Skolnick,Charles E. Schwartz,Vicki E. Powers,Sarah B. England +5 more
TL;DR: Since the strategy is a general one, the alpha satellite family of DNA should provide a rich source of molecular variation in the human genome and should contribute to the development of centromere-based genetic linkage maps of human chromosomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The β -subunit of follicle-stimulating hormone is deleted in patients with aniridia and Wilms' tumour, allowing a further definition of the WAGR locus
Thomas M Glaser,William H. Lewis,Gail A. P. Bruns,Paul C. Watkins,C. E. Rogler,Thomas B. Shows,Vicki E. Powers,Huntington F. Willard,J. M. Goguen,Kalle O. J. Simola,David E. Housman +10 more
TL;DR: Close physical linkage between FSHB and the WAGR locus is demonstrated, suggest a gene order for the four deleted markers and exclude other markers tested from this region, as well as testing genomic DNA from the hybrids with chromosome 11-specific probes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical mapping of 60 DNA markers in the p21.1 → q21.3 region of the human X chromosome
Ronald G. Lafreniere,Carolyn J. Brown,Vicki E. Powers,Laura Carrel,Kay E. Davies,David F. Barker,Huntington F. Willard +6 more
TL;DR: Using a panel of human/rodent somatic cell hybrids and human lymphoblast lines segregating 18 different human X-chromosome rearrangements and deletions, 60 DNA markers are assigned to the physical map of the X chromosome from Xp21.1 to Xq21.3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Amplified DNA sequences in Y1 mouse adrenal tumor cells: association with double minutes and localization to a homogeneously staining chromosomal region.
Donna L. George,Vicki E. Powers +1 more
TL;DR: These experiments provide direct evidence that the dm and HSRs in these Y1 cells are structurally related and further support the hypothesis that these chromosomal anomalies result from a process of gene amplification.
