Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNA-200a (miR-200a) has been reported to regulate tumour progression in several tumours but little is known about its role in neuroblastoma. Our aim was to investigate the potential role and mechanism of miR-200a in neuroblastomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Expression levels of miR-200a in tissues were determined using RT-PCR. The effect of miR-200a and shAP-2γ on cell viability was evaluated using MTS assays, and target protein expression was determined using Western blotting and RT-PCR. Luciferase reporter plasmids were constructed to confirm direct targeting. RESULTS were reported as mean±S.E.M and differences were tested for significance using the 2-tailed Students t-test. RESULTS We determined that miR-200a expression was significantly lower in neuroblastoma tumors than the adjacent non-cancer tissue. Over-expression of miR-200 are reduced cell viability in neuroblastoma cells and inhibited tumor growth in mouse xenografts. We identified AP-2γ as a novel target for miR-200a in neuroblastoma cells. Thus miR-200a targets the 3'UTR of AP-2γ and inhibits its mRNA and protein expression. Furthermore, our result showed that shRNA knockdown of AP-2γ in neuroblastoma cells results in significant inhibit of cell proliferation and tumor growth in vitro, supporting an oncogenic role of AP-2γ in neuroblastoma. CONCLUSIONS Our study revealed that miR-200a is a candidate tumor suppressor in neuroblastoma, through direct targeting of AP-2γ. These findings re-enforce the proposal of AP-2γ as a therapeutic target in neuroblastoma.

Abstract
We are building a framework map of known-order anchor markers between the mouse T31 radiation hybrid (RH) panel and the recombination map based on The Jackson Laboratory (TJL) interspecific backcross panels using the established genetic order to evaluate and strengthen the RH results. In making this map comparison, we have elucidated several problems inherent in RH mapping and minimized these by careful attention to data gathering and interpretation methods. We describe lessons and pitfalls of developing radiation hybrid maps, using the example of mouse Chromosome 18, for which we have built a framework map of microsatellite anchor loci spanning the entire chromosome at significant LOD with no gaps. Sixty-five D18Mit- simple sequence length polymorphism (SSLP) markers form a continuous linkage along the T31 RH Chromosome 18 (RH map length 1598 cR, genetic length 41 cM) with all LODs greater than 6. These markers are also placed on TJL interspecific backcrosses, and the order of the markers in the two systems is in complete agreement. We are continuing to cross-reference the RH data to TJL backcross data for the other mouse chromosomes to improve further the power of RH mapping and to integrate more precisely the extensive existing recombination mapping data for the mouse with the incoming radiation hybrid map data.

Abstract
Several projects have produced maps of the physical position of genes within the human genome, either on a genome-wide scale or of a more detailed subsection of a chromosome. However, these maps largely rely on the mapping of expressed sequences (cDNAs and ESTs) back onto physical maps by their localization onto specific fragments of DNA within the radiation hybrid panels. In this report we present a gene map of a section of chromosome 19 that has been derived by combining the use of a method of gene identification (exon trapping) that does not rely on expression patterns, with data available in the genome databases to produce a fine-detailed transcript map. This map also provides several potential candidates for disorders that map to this region of the genome. Details of the maps and more detailed descriptions of cosmid contigs, exon sequences, and expression patterns for the 96 exons that form the basis of this transcript map are available on a series of Web pages that are referenced in this report. These Web pages can be accessed from http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/ pdzmgh/tm/livemap19q. html.

Abstract
A radiation hybrid (RH)-derived physical map of 25 markers on the feline X chromosome (including 19 Type I coding loci and 6 Type II microsatellite markers) was compared to homologous marker order on the human and mouse X chromosome maps. Complete conservation of synteny and marker order was observed between feline and human X chromosomes, whereas the same markers identified a minimum of seven rearranged syntenic segments between mouse and cat/human X chromosome marker order. Within the blocks, the feline, human, and mouse marker order was strongly conserved. Similarly, Y chromosome locus order was remarkably conserved between cat and human Y chromosomes, with only one marker (SMCY) position rearranged between the species. Tight linkage and a conserved gene order for a segment encoding three genes, DFFRY-DBY-UTY in human, mouse, and cat Y chromosomes, coupled with demonstrated deletion effects of these genes on reproductive impairment in both human and mouse, implicates the region as critical for Y-mediated sperm production.

Abstract
The short arm of human chromosome 5 contains approximately 48 Mb of DNA and comprises 1.5% of the genome. We have constructed a mega-YAC/ STS map of this region that includes 436 YACs anchored by 216 STSs. By combining and integrating our map with the 5p maps of other groups using the same recombinant DNA library, a comprehensive map was constructed that includes 552 YACs and 504 markers. The YAC map covers >94% of 5p in four YAC contigs, bridges the centromere, and includes an additional 5 Mb of 5q DNA. The average marker density is 95 kb. This integrated 5p map will serve as a resource for the continuing localization of genes on the short arm of human chromosome 5 and as a framework for both generating and aligning the DNA sequence of this region.

Abstract
We have constructed a high-resolution map of a 6-Mb interval of human chromosome 5, band q31, incorporating 175 sequence tagged sites, of which 33 are genetic polymorphisms and 122 are nonredundant expressed sequences. The map was assembled initially as a YAC contig, incorporating data from radiation hybrid maps. To improve resolution and to identify errors in the databases, a radiation hybrid breakpoint map was developed for the interval, which included hybrids from both Stanford G3 and GeneBridge 4 panels. This novel approach facilitated the integration of one RH panel with another and enabled the identification and localization of new, previously unmapped ESTs from the radiation hybrid databases. ESTs were assembled into overlapping transcription units and ordered with respect to polymorphic markers in the region, resulting in a comprehensive map that incorporates markers from multiple different types of maps. This map of 5q31 will facilitate gene discovery efforts for several disorders, including limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1A and the genes deleted in acute myeloid leukemias and myelodysplasia. The study demonstrates the utility of a radiation hybrid breakpoint panel for correction of map errors and for the efficient identification of new transcript units in a large genomic interval.

Abstract
Human centromeres are poorly understood at both the genetic and the physical level. In this paper, we have been able to distinguish the alphoid centromeric sequences of chromosome 5 from those of chromosome 19. This result was obtained by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis after cutting genomic DNA with restriction endonucleases NcoI (chromosome 5) and BamHI (chromosome 19). We could thus define a highly polymorphic marker, representing length variations of the D5Z1 domain located at the q arm boundary of the chromosome 5 centromere. The centromeric region of chromosome 5 was then analyzed in full detail. We established an approximately 4.6-Mb physical map of the whole region with five rare-cutting enzymes by using nonchimeric YACs, two of which were shown to contain the very ends of 5cen on both sides. The p-arm side of 5cen was shown to contain an alphoid subset (D5Z12) different from those described thus far. Two genes and several putative cDNAs could be precisely located close to the centromere. Several L1 elements were shown to be present within alpha satellites at the boundary between alphoid and nonalphoid sequences on both sides of 5cen. They were used to define STSs that could serve as physical anchor points at the junction of 5cen with the p and q arms. Some STSs were placed on a radiation hybrid map. One was polymorphic and could therefore be used as a second centromeric genetic marker at the p arm boundary of 5cen. We could thus estimate recombination rates within and around the centromeric region of chromosome 5. Recombination is highly reduced within 5cen, with zero recombinants in 58 meioses being detected between the two markers located at the two extremities of the centromere. In its immediate vicinity, 5cen indeed exerts a direct negative effect on meiotic recombination within the proximal chromosomal DNA. This effect is, however, less important than expected and is polarized, as different rates are observed on both arms if one compares the 0 cM/Mb of the p proximal first 5.5 Mb and the 0.64 cM/Mb of the q proximal first 5 Mb to the sex-average 1.02 cM/Mb found throughout the entire chromosome 5. Rates then become close to the average when one goes further within the arms. Finally, most recombinants (21/22), irrespective of the arm, are of female origin, thus showing that recombination around 5cen is essentially occurring in the female lineage.

Abstract
A whole genome radiation hybrid (RH) map of the canine genome was constructed by typing 400 markers, including 218 genes and 182 microsatellites, on a panel of 126 radiation hybrid cell lines. Fifty-seven RH groups have been determined with lod scores greater than 6, and 180 framework landmarks were ordered with odds greater than 1000:1. Average spacing between adjacent markers is 23 cR5000, an estimated physical distance of 3.8 Mb. Fourteen groups have been assigned to 9 of the canine chromosomes, and a comparison of RH and genetic groups allowed the successful bridging of both types of data on one map composed of 31 RH and 13 syntenic RH groups. Comparison of canine, human, mouse, and pig maps underlined regions of conserved synteny. This integrated map, covering an estimated 80% of the dog genome, should prove a powerful tool for localizing and identifiying genes implicated in pathological and phenotypical traits.
