Approximately 30% of the human genome consists of protein-coding genes. The remaining parts include regulatory elements, introns, and other non-coding regions essential for genome function and gene expression.

---|---|
(A) Radiation hybrid mapping | (I) DNA can be cut into large fragments and circularized for use in chromosome walking |
(B) Sequence tagged site (STS) mapping | (II) Useful for cloning of overlapping DNA fragments (restricted to about 200 kb) |
(C) Chromosome jumping | (III) Fragment genome into large pieces and locate markers and genes |
(D) Chromosome walking | (IV) Applicable to any part of DNA sequence if some sequence information is available |
