Abstract
PURPOSE There has been a persistent claim that dairy products contain calcium-leaching proteins, although the soundness of such a claim has been challenged. A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the effects of milk-derived protein supplementation on bone health indices in adults was performed to reconcile the controversy surrounding the potential skeletal safety concerns of proteins of dairy origin. METHODS The PubMed and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant RCTs. A random-effects model was used to generate pooled effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Milk-derived protein supplementation did not significantly affect whole-body BMD (n = 7 RCTs) and BMD at the lumbar spine (n = 10), hip (n = 8), femoral neck (n = 9), trochanter (n = 5), intertrochanter (n = 2), and ultradistal radius (n = 2). The concentrations of bone formation markers (bone-specific alkaline phosphatase [n = 11], osteocalcin [n = 6], procollagen type 1 amino-terminal propeptide [n = 5]), bone resorption markers (N-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen [n = 7], C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen [n = 7], deoxypyridinoline [n = 4]), and parathyroid hormone (n = 7) were not significantly affected. However, increased insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) concentrations (n = 13) were observed. Reduced IGF-1 concentrations were observed when soy protein was used as a comparator, and increased IGF-1 concentrations were observed when carbohydrate was used. CONCLUSION Our findings do not support the claim that proteins of dairy origin are detrimental to bone health.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the significance of circulating tumor cell (CTC) monitoring in evaluating the efficacy of targeted therapy for gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed. The data of patients with locally advanced GIST or liver metastasis who were admitted to The Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from August 2013 to December 2018 were collected. Inclusion criteria: (1) patients aged older than 18 years; (2) patients who were diagnosed with GIST based on pathology; (3) patients without surgery, whose preoperative imaging evaluation of GIST found the violations of the surrounding organs or partial transfer of an estimated difficulty to achieve R0 resection, or the maximum diameter of the tumor > 10 cm, or the liver metastasis, or the expectation of higher risk of surgical complications; (4) patients who were treated with the imatinib 400 mg/d for the first time; (5) Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score of 0-2. Exclusion criteria: (1) genetic testing revealed a D842V mutation in exon 18 of the PDGFRA gene; (2) alanine aminotransferase and/or aspartate aminotransferase > 2.5 times the normal upper limit; (3) serum total bilirubin >1.5 times of normal upper limit; (4) neutrophil count < 1.5×10(9)/L, or platelet count < 75×10(9)/L, or hemoglobin < 60 g/L; (5) creatinine > normal upper limit; (6) patients had serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases within 12 months before enrollment; (7) female patients were pregnant or lactating; (8) patients suffered from other serious acute and chronic physical or mental problems, and were not suitable for participating in this study judged by researchers. The patients who could not tolerate treatment regimen, or developed serious adverse reactions and did not follow the medication scheme after enrollment were excluded. Before imatinib treatment and 1-month and 2-month after treatment, quantitative PCR was used to detect the DOG-1 expression of monocytes in peripheral blood, and the ratio of DOG-1/β-actin > 3×10(-5) was used as the CTC positive threshold of GIST. The positive rate of CTC, the efficacy of imatinib treatment (complete response, partial response, stable disease, progressive disease, and occurrence of adverse reactions), and the relationship between CTC positive rate and clinicopathological characteristics of patients were analyzed. Furthermore, the ratio of DOG-1 decrease/baseline DOG-1 after 1-month of treatment was used as an indicator to evaluate whether targeted therapy was effective. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was rendered, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. Results: A total of 68 GIST patients were enrolled in this study, including 39 cases of locally advanced GIST and 29 cases with liver metastases, 32 males and 36 females with the mean age of (51.2±11.8) (range 31 to 74) years. After 2-month of imatinib treatment, 43 cases were evaluated as partial response, 11 cases as stable disease, and 14 cases as progressive disease, with an effective rate of 79.4% (54/68). During the treatment of imatinib, the incidence of grade 3 or higher adverse reactions was 22.1% (15/68), including 12 cases of grade 3 neutropenia and 3 of grade 4 drug eruption, which were all relieved after conservative treatment. The positive rates of CTC in 68 patients before treatment, 1-month and 2-month after treatment were 66.2% (45/68), 41.2% (28/68) and 23.5% (16/68), respectively. The positive rate of CTC was associated with tumor size, liver metastasis, mitotic count and risk level (all P<0.05). By analyzing the effective group and the ineffective group of targeted therapy, it was found that the positive rate of CTC in the effective group showed a decreasing trend, while the positive rate of CTC in the ineffective group showed an increasing trend. The AUC of predicting the efficacy of targeted therapy for GIST was 0.823 by detecting the change trend of CTC 1-month after treatment (P<0.001). When the DOG-1 content decreased by more than 57.5% 1-month after treatment, it can be used as an indicator to judge the effectiveness of the treatment, whose sensitivity was 72.2% and specificity was 100%. Conclusion: The detection of peripheral blood CTC can evaluate the efficacy of targeted therapy in GIST patients and can provide decision-making basis for further clinical treatment.

Abstract
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia, and catheter ablation has been shown to be a highly effective treatment for patients with symptomatic AF. Very early recurrence (VER) of AF within 7 days after catheter ablation is common, but the clinical significance of VER remains unclear. We have examined the usefulness of the noninvasive electrocardiography monitor for the detection of VER and the relationship between VER and late recurrence (LR). Methods Eighty‐eight patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation were retrospectively included. All patients underwent primary catheter ablation at a large general hospital between March 2016 and August 2018. All patients were followed up in atrial fibrillation clinic at an interval of every 3 months for late recurrence of AF. VER was evaluated by one‐lead continuous noninvasive electrocardiography monitoring device for 7 days after ablation. The association between VER and LR was analyzed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression model. Results Mean age was 62.9 ± 9.7 years, and 39.8% were female. Thirty‐two patients (36.4%) experienced VER. After a mean follow‐up of 539.36 ± 211.66 days, 17 patients (19.3%) experienced LR. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed VER was an independent predictor of LR: HR 3.6 (95% CI, 1.2–10.8), p = .020. In addition, diabetes was also associated with LR of atrial fibrillation. Conclusions Noninvasive electrocardiography monitoring was a useful tool for detecting VER and VER after catheter ablation was associated with LR.

Abstract
Objective: A new ion exchange column technology was used to establish an efficient and sensitive method for the detection of inorganic arsenic. Methods: Based on the new As Specia Fast Column, the pretreatment methods, liquid phase separation and mass spectrometry determination conditions of inorganic arsenic in rice were optimized. Finally, arsenic compounds were separated by As Specia Fast Column and detected by liquid chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The external standard method was used for quantitative analysis. The detection limit, precision and accuracy of the method were determined by measuring the content of arsenic compounds in rice samples and rice standard samples. At the same time, three Guangdong rice samples were selected as the experimental samples of this study, and 1 g of each sample was weighed and measured in parallel three times. The method was compared with the method of liquid chromatography-atomic fluorescence spectrometry (LC-AFS) and liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LC-ICP-MS) in the national standard. Results: The inorganic arsenic in rice was extracted with 0.5% nitric acid solution at 65 ℃ for 15 h, and the pH was adjusted to alkaline. The mobile phase A (8 mmol/L HNO(3), 50 mmol/L NH(3)·H(2)O) and mobile phase B (40 mmol/L HNO(3), 80 mmol/L NH(3)·H(2)O) were used as the mobile phase gradient elution (93%) . Five arsenic compounds can reach baseline separation under the conditions of RF power of 1 500 W and atomization gas flow of 0.97 L/min. The detection limits ranged from 0.114 to 0.331 μg/L, and the inorganic arsenic content in rice samples ranged from 0.063 to 0.232 mg/kg. The results of determination of arsenic compounds in rice flour reference materials were all within the uncertainty range indicated by the standard. The recoveries were 86.7%~106.7%, and the precision was 1.9%-12.5%. Compared with national standards, the results of determination of arsenate in rice were relatively close (using this method, LC-AFS, LC-ICP-MS to detect the content of arsenate in rice samples 1 was 0.231, 0.226, 0.236 mg/kg, respectively). However, due to insufficient sensitivity, the national standard method is difficult to detect low levels of arsenic compounds (Arsenobetaine was not detected in rice sample 1). The method can detect the content of arsenobetaine in rice sample 1 was 0.023 mg/kg. Conclusion: The established method can meet the requirements of inorganic arsenic determination in rice, and it is more rapid and accurate than the current national standard. It can better monitor and evaluate the content of i-As in rice, and provide accurate data for comprehensively grasping and evaluating the safety of rice consumption of residents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has been suggested for heart failure patients for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death. However, few data have been reported on the application of ICD as primary prevention of sudden cardiac death in China. We evaluated the value of primary prevention ICD therapy in Chinese patients with heart failure. METHODS Thirty-four patients at an average age of (60.2 +/- 13.7) years seen in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were treated with ICD implantation for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death from November 2005 to July 2009. Single-chamber ICDs were implanted in 16 (47.0%) cases, and dual-chamber or cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillators in 18 (53.0%) cases. The patients had an average left ventricular ejection fraction of (26.9 +/- 5.5)% (11% to 35%), of which 18 (53.0%) patients had ischemic cardiomyopathy and 16 (47.0%) patients had non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. All patients were followed up at three months after the implantation and every six months thereafter or when prompted by an ICD event. RESULTS There were five (14.7%) deaths, including two of heart failure and three with a non-cardiac course, during an average follow-up of (15.0 +/- 11.9) months. Forty-one ICD therapy events were recorded, including 19 (46.3%) appropriate ICD therapies in six patients and 22 (53.7%) inappropriate ICD therapies in four patients with single chamber leads. Inappropriate ICD therapies were mainly due to supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, especially atrial fibrillation. Patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy did not differ in the incidence of either appropriate or inappropriate therapy. CONCLUSIONS ICD for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death in China prevents patients from arrhythmia death. Relatively high incidence of inappropriate therapies highlights the importance of an atrial lead.

Abstract
The serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) is a candidate gene for schizophrenia based on serotonin transporter's crucial role in serotonergic neurotransmission. However, association studies have produced conflicting results regarding the association between two common SLC6A4 gene polymorphisms, the promoter insertion/deletion (5-HTTLPR) and the intron 2 VNTR (STin2 VNTR) polymorphisms, and schizophrenia susceptibility. To further elucidate the putative association between the two SLC6A4 gene polymorphisms and schizophrenia susceptibility, we performed a meta-analysis based on all original published association studies between schizophrenia and the 5-HTTLPR and STin2 VNTR polymorphisms published before April 2004. Our analyses showed no statistically significant evidence for the association between the Short allele of the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism and schizophrenia (random-effects pooled odds ratio (OR)=0.99, 95% Confidence Interval (CI)=0.92-1.07, Z=-0.23, P=0.82) from 19 population-based association studies consisting of 2990 case and 3875 control subjects. However, highly significant evidence for association between the STin2.12 allele of the STin2 VNTR polymorphism (random-effects pooled OR=1.24, 95% CI=1.11-1.38, Z=3.82, P=0.00014) and schizophrenia was found from 12 population-based association studies consisting of 2177 cases and 2369 control subjects. Our meta-analysis suggests that the STin2.12 allele of the STin2 VNTR polymorphism is likely a risk factor for schizophrenia susceptibility. Our data imply that following completion of the International HapMap Project, a comprehensive evaluation of a set of markers that fully characterize the linkage disequilibrium relationships at the SLC6A4 gene should be tested in large well-characterized clinical samples in order to understand the role of this gene in schizophrenia susceptibility.

Abstract
Recently a strong positive association between schizophrenia and Notch4 has been reported. Both individual markers and haplotypes showed association with the disease, with five markers (three microsatellites and two SNPs) being tested. In order to test this finding we genotyped these markers in the Han Chinese population using a sample of 544 cases and 621 controls as well as >300 trios. Analysis of allele, genotype and haplotype frequencies in both samples showed no association between the markers and the disease. Our results would indicate that a significant role for the Notch4 gene in schizophrenia can be ruled out in the Han Chinese. However, similar studies are necessary in the Caucasian population as linkage disequilibrium arrangements and founder effects may differ between these two populations.

Abstract
Fetal iodine deficiency disorder (FIDD) is the principal form of endemic cretinism, and the most common cause of preventable mental deficiency in the world. However not everyone at risk develops FIDD and familial aggregation is common. This suggests that genetic factors may also be involved. The Apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene encodes for a lipoprotein that possesses a thyroid hormone binding domain, and APOE genotype may affect the efficiency with which thyroid hormone influences neuronal cell growth during the first and second trimesters of fetal development. We have compared ApoE genotypes in 91 FIDD cases with 154 local control subjects, recruited from three iodine deficiency areas in central China. We have also genotyped 42 FIDD family cases and 158 normal individuals from the families of local controls, and 375 population controls from Shanghai. APOE epsilon4 genotypes were significantly enriched in FIDD probands from each of the three iodine deficiency areas; the epsilon4 allele frequency was 16% vs 6% in controls. The same effect was also observed when we compared FIDD family cases with controls and control families. Our data suggest that in iodine-deficient areas, the APOE epsilon4 allele is a genetic risk factor for FIDD. The phenomenon may affect population selection and contribute to the low frequency of the epsilon4 allele in Chinese compared to Caucasian populations.

Abstract
Large scale human genetic studies require technologies for generating millions of genotypes with relative ease but also at a reasonable cost and with high accuracy. We describe a highly parallel method for genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), using generic high-density oligonucleotide arrays that contain thousands of preselected 20-mer oligonucleotide tags. First, marker-specific primers are used in PCR amplifications of genomic regions containing SNPs. Second, the amplification products are used as templates in single base extension (SBE) reactions using chimeric primers with 3' complementarity to the specific SNP loci and 5' complementarity to specific probes, or tags, synthesized on the array. The SBE primers, terminating one base before the polymorphic site, are extended in the presence of labeled dideoxy NTPs, using a different label for each of the two SNP alleles, and hybridized to the tag array. Third, genotypes are deduced from the fluorescence intensity ratio of the two colors. This approach takes advantage of multiplexed sample preparation, hybridization, and analysis at each stage. We illustrate and test this method by genotyping 44 individuals for 142 human SNPs identified previously in 62 candidate hypertension genes. Because the hybridization results are quantitative, this method can also be used for allele-frequency estimation in pooled DNA samples.

Abstract
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been the focus of much attention in human genetics because they are extremely abundant and well-suited for automated large-scale genotyping. Human SNPs, however, are less informative than other types of genetic markers (such as simple-sequence length polymorphisms or microsatellites) and thus more loci are required for mapping traits. SNPs offer similar advantages for experimental genetic organisms such as the mouse, but they entail no loss of informativeness because bi-allelic markers are fully informative in analysing crosses between inbred strains. Here we report a large-scale analysis of SNPs in the mouse genome. We characterized the rate of nucleotide polymorphism in eight mouse strains and identified a collection of 2,848 SNPs located in 1,755 sequence-tagged sites (STSs) using high-density oligonucleotide arrays. Three-quarters of these SNPs have been mapped on the mouse genome, providing a first-generation SNP map of the mouse. We have also developed a multiplex genotyping procedure by which a genome scan can be performed with only six genotyping reactions per animal.

Abstract
Sequence variation in human genes is largely confined to single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and is valuable in tests of association with common diseases and pharmacogenetic traits. We performed a systematic and comprehensive survey of molecular variation to assess the nature, pattern and frequency of SNPs in 75 candidate human genes for blood-pressure homeostasis and hypertension. We assayed 28 Mb (190 kb in 148 alleles) of genomic sequence, comprising the 5' and 3' untranslated regions (UTRs), introns and coding sequence of these genes, for sequence differences in individuals of African and Northern European descent using high-density variant detection arrays (VDAs). We identified 874 candidate human SNPs, of which 22% were confirmed by DNA sequencing to reveal a discordancy rate of 21% for VDA detection. The SNPs detected have an average minor allele frequency of 11%, and 387 are within the coding sequence (cSNPs). Of all cSNPs, 54% lead to a predicted change in the protein sequence, implying a high level of human protein diversity. These protein-altering SNPs are 38% of the total number of such SNPs expected, are more likely to be population-specific and are rarer in the human population, directly demonstrating the effects of natural selection on human genes. Overall, the degree of nucleotide polymorphism across these human genes, and orthologous great ape sequences, is highly variable and is correlated with the effects of functional conservation on gene sequences.

Abstract
Here we report the application of high-density oligonucleotide array (DNA chip)-based analysis to determine the distant history of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in current human populations. We analysed orthologues for 397 human SNP sites (identified in CEPH pedigrees from Amish, Venezuelan and Utah populations) from 23 common chimpanzee, 19 pygmy chimpanzee and 11 gorilla genomic DNA samples. From this data we determined 214 proposed ancestral alleles (the sequence found in the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees). In a diverse human population set, we found that SNP alleles with higher frequencies were more likely to be ancestral than less frequently occurring alleles. There were, however, exceptions. We also found three shared human/pygmy chimpanzee polymorphisms, all involving CpG dinucleotides, and two shared human/gorilla polymorphisms, one involving a CpG dinucleotide. We demonstrate that microarray-based assays allow rapid comparative sequence analysis of intra- and interspecies genetic variation.

Abstract
A highly reliable and efficient technology has been developed for high-throughput DNA polymorphism screening and large-scale genotyping. Photolithographic synthesis has been used to generate miniaturized, high-density oligonucleotide arrays. Dedicated instrumentation and software have been developed for array hybridization, fluorescent detection, and data acquisition and analysis. Specific oligonucleotide probe arrays have been designed to rapidly screen human STSs, known genes and full-length cDNAs. This has led to the identification of several thousand biallelic single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Meanwhile, a rapid and robust method has been developed for genotyping these SNPs using oligonucleotide arrays. Each allele of an SNP marker is represented on the array by a set of perfect match and mismatch probes. Prototype genotyping chips have been produced to detect 400, 600 and 3000 of these SNPs. Based on the preliminary results, using oligonucleotide arrays to genotype several thousand polymorphic loci simultaneously appears feasible.

Abstract
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most frequent type of variation in the human genome, and they provide powerful tools for a variety of medical genetic studies. In a large-scale survey for SNPs, 2.3 megabases of human genomic DNA was examined by a combination of gel-based sequencing and high-density variation-detection DNA chips. A total of 3241 candidate SNPs were identified. A genetic map was constructed showing the location of 2227 of these SNPs. Prototype genotyping chips were developed that allow simultaneous genotyping of 500 SNPs. The results provide a characterization of human diversity at the nucleotide level and demonstrate the feasibility of large-scale identification of human SNPs.

Abstract
Autoimmune-polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED, PGD type I) is an autosomal recessive disease enriched in the Finnish population. Previously, we have assigned APECED to a 2.6-cM interval on chromosome 21q22.3 by linkage analysis in 14 Finnish families. This subtelomeric region of 21q22.3 seems to have sequence features resulting in its under-representation in large insert genomic libraries, and only a few large insert clones have been available for positional cloning to date. Here, we report the refined localization of the APECED gene and a visual physical map of 800 kb covering the critical chromosomal region for the gene. In the construction of the physical map, the recently developed fiber FISH techniques were essential for the orientation of the cosmid PI, PAC, and BAC clones in relation to each other. We also localized two cDNAs within this genomic region by fiber FISH combined with the highly sensitive tyramide-based detection method. These data will facilitate the final cloning of the APECED gene and any other novel gene in this complex genomic region.

Abstract
We have constructed a physical map of the human genome by using a panel of 83 whole genome radiation hybrids (the Stanford G3 panel) in conjunction with 10,478 sequence-tagged sites (STSs) derived from random genomic DNA sequences, previously mapped genetic markers, and expressed sequences. Of these STSs, 5049 are framework markers that fall into 1766 high-confidence bins. An additional 945 STSs are indistinguishable in their map location from one or more of the framework markers. These 5994 mapped STSs have an average spacing of 500 kb. An additional 4484 STSs are positioned with respect to the framework markers. Comparison of the orders of markers on this map with orders derived from independent meiotic and YAC STS-content maps indicates that the error rate in defining high-confidence bins is < 5%. Analysis of 322 random cDNAs indicates that the map covers the vast majority of the human genome. This STS-based radiation hybrid map of the human genome brings us one step closer to the goal of a physical map containing 30,000 unique ordered landmarks with an average marker spacing of 100 kb.

Abstract
The human genome is thought to harbor 50,000 to 100,000 genes, of which about half have been sampled to date in the form of expressed sequence tags. An international consortium was organized to develop and map gene-based sequence tagged site markers on a set of two radiation hybrid panels and a yeast artificial chromosome library. More than 16,000 human genes have been mapped relative to a framework map that contains about 1000 polymorphic genetic markers. The gene map unifies the existing genetic and physical maps with the nucleotide and protein sequence databases in a fashion that should speed the discovery of genes underlying inherited human disease. The integrated resource is available through a site on the World Wide Web at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SCIENCE96/.

Abstract
The gene responsible for progressive myoclonus epilepsy of the Unverricht-Lundborg type (EPM1) is located on human chromosome 21q22.3 in a region defined by recombination breakpoints and linkage disequilibrium. As part of an effort to clone the EPM1 gene on the basis of its chromosomal location, we have constructed a 753-kb bacterial clone contig that encompasses the region containing the gene. Because DNA markers from the region did not identify intact yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) clones after screening several libraries, we built the contig from cosmid clones and used bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) and bacteriophage P1 clones to fill gaps. In addition to constructing the clone contig, we determined the locations of the EcoRI, SacII, EagI, and NotI restriction sites in the clones, resulting in a high-resolution restriction map of the region. Most of the contig is represented by a level of redundancy that allows the orders of most restriction sites to be determined, provides multiple data points supporting the clone orders and orientations, and allows a set of clones with a minimum degree of overlap to be chosen for efficient additional analysis. The clone and restriction maps are in excellent agreement with maps generated of the region by other methods. These ordered bacterial clones and the mapping information obtained from them provide valuable reagents for isolating candidate genes for EPM1, as well as for determining the nucleotide sequence of a 750 kb region of the human genome.

Abstract
A novel method was used to characterize the long range susceptibility of Schizosaccharomyces pombe chromosomal DNA to endogenous endonuclease cleavage. Analyses of pulsed field gel experiments revealed two periodicities in the distribution of endogenous endonuclease hypersensitive sites. Endonuclease cleavage sites occurred, roughly at 30-509 kilobase pairs (kb) intervals under physiological conditions (25 mM KCl). At higher salt concentrations (250 mM KCl or 0.2 M and 0.9 M NaCl), endonuclease hypersensitive sites occurred at 200-300 kb intervals. Endonuclease hypersensitive sites in different chromosomal regions were monitored during different stages of the cell cycle. DNA sequencing around the endonuclease hypersensitive sites revealed the presence of clusters of A+T-rich motifs, autonomously replicating sequences (ARSs) in sequences (a characteristic of the scaffold-associated regions (SARs) and the presence of a CTG trinucleotide at most sites.

Abstract
We constructed a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) framework map of human chromosome 4 by screening a YAC library with 63 polymorphic DNA markers located on the chromosome. These genetic markers are from two framework meiotic maps that had previously been constructed by two research groups, and are placed on the two maps with odds for their order of 1000:1 or greater. In addition to isolating and determining the sizes of 141 YAC clones for 54 of these markers, we combined the two framework meiotic maps to produce a single integrated map. These combined maps and the YAC clones provide a set of extended DNA loci ordered at high odds that can be used to isolate additional polymorphic loci and genes, and to serve as a framework for obtaining a higher resolution physical map of the chromosome.

Pulsed field gel electrophoresis was used to size intact chromosomal DNAs from Candida albicans, Kluyveromyces lactis, Pichia scolyti, and Pichia mississippiensis by optimization methods using, as size standards, concatenated bacteriophage lambda DNA, and intact and NotI digestion products of Schizosaccharomyces pombe chromosomal DNAs. These newly sized fungal DNAs can now serve as convenient and accurate size standards for DNA molecules between 0.7 and 3.3 megabases (Mb). These size standards are valid over a wide range of different electrophoretic conditions.

Abstract
A Sfi I restriction map of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe genome was aligned with the Not I restriction map. There are 16 Sfi I sites in the S. pombe genome. Three Sfi I sites are on chromosome III which is devoid of Not I sites. The sizes of the entire genome and individual chromosomes, calculated from the Sfi I fragment sizes, are consistent with that calculated from the Not I fragment sizes. The Sfi I map provides greater physical characterization of the S. pombe genome and further validates the use of S. pombe chromosomal DNA as size standard. These maps have allowed detection of polymorphism on all three chromosomes.

Abstract
Previous estimates of the size of the Giardia lamblia genome have ranged from 30 to 80 million base pairs (Mb), based on DNA renaturation kinetics. This is much larger than the sum of the sizes of the 4 to 5 chromosomal DNAs seen in typical pulsed field gel electrophoretic analyses. One possible explanation is that each visible chromosomal DNA consists of several unresolved DNA species. To examine this we have performed quantitative densitometry of ethidium stained chromosomal DNAs and Notl genomic digests. We have also examined the distribution of rDNA on Notl genomic fragments. All of our results suggests that the true genome size is 10.6 to 11.9 Mb. It is conceivable that the previous larger estimates may be distorted by impurities in the DNA preparations used.

Abstract
Pulsed field gel electrophoresis and large DNA technology were used to construct a Not I restriction map of the entire genome of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. There are 14 detectable Not I sites in S. pombe 972h: 9 sites on chromosome I and 5 sites on chromosome II, while no Not I sites were found on chromosome III. The 17 fragments (including intact chromosome III) generated by Not I digestion were resolved by PFG electrophoresis. These fragments ranged in size from 4.5 kb to approximately 3.5 Mb. Various strategies were applied in determining, efficiently, the order of the fragments on the chromosomes. The genomic size measured by adding all the fragments together is about 14 Mb and the sizes of the three chromosomes are I, 5.7 Mb, II, 4.6 to 4.7 Mb, and III, 3.5 Mb. These are generally somewhat smaller than estimated previously.

Abstract
The three chromosomal DNAs of S. pombe have been fractionated by pulsed field gel electrophoresis. The resulting molecular karyotype will greatly speed gene mapping in this organism, and it indicates that the separation range of the technique extends to DNA molecules as large as 9,000,000 base pairs.
