GeneMap 98 Doubles Density of 1996 Map

In the special genome issue of Science (October 23, 1998), researchers reported the release of GeneMap 98, an updated human gene map that provides an early look at some of the most important regions of the human genome. Two to three times more detailed than the 1996 version, the new map contains some 30,000 human gene-based markers. It doubles the gene density of the previous release and represents perhaps half of all human genes.

The map highlights important chromosomal landmarks that (1) provide a valuable resource for studying complex (polygenic) genetic traits and (2) offer a framework and focus for constructing complete physical maps of chromosomes for genome sequencing. An important tool for aiding design and construction of large-scale gene-expression arrays, the map also can be used to study comparative analysis of mammalian chromosome structure and evolution. GeneMap 98 is available on a redesigned Web site that includes mapping information and associated data and annotations.
