Abstract
The Human Genome Project has had a major impact on genetic research over the past five years. The number of mapped genes is now over 3,000 compared with approximately 1,600 in 1989 (Human Gene Mapping 10, [5]) and only about 260 ten years before that (Human Gene Mapping 5, [4]). The realization that extensive variation could be detected in anonymous DNA segments (Botstein et al. [1]) greatly enhanced the potential for mapping by linkage analysis. Previously, linkage studies had depended on polymorphisms that could be detected in red blood cell antigens, proteins (revealed by electrophoresis and isoelectric focusing), and cytogenetic heteromorphisms.
