Summary
Human chromosome 20 has not been sufficiently mapped, as only four DNA probes detecting RFLPs and 18 genes have been assigned to this chromosome. Using a chromosome 20-specific library to isolate and characterize new low-copy DNA probes, we found a new polymorphic DNA probe (pS43), which is assigned to human chromosome 20q13.
