Chromosome jumping information


Chromosome jumping is a tool of molecular biology that is used in the physical mapping of genomes. It is related to several other tools used for the same purpose, including chromosome walking.

Chromosome jumping is used to bypass regions difficult to clone, such as those containing repetitive DNA, that cannot be easily mapped by chromosome walking, and is useful in moving along a chromosome rapidly in search of a particular gene. Unlike chromosome walking, chromosome jumping is able to start on one point of the chromosome in order to traverse potential distant point of the same chromosome without cloning the intervening sequences.[1] The ends of a large DNA fragment is the target cloning section of the chromosome jumping while the middle section gets removed by sequences of chemical manipulations prior to the cloning step.
