Abstract
Constructing detailed chromosome maps relies on the ability to place new markers rapidly and accurately. Here we map two new anonymous DNA markers precisely on chromosome 11q and refine the location of established markers using a panel of just six fragmentation hybrids, with reference to four translocation chromosomes. As several of the hybrids retain multiple segments of chromosome 11, it is possible to quickly assign new markers to subintervals using this modest set of hybrid DNAs.
