Hi, I'm glad to see the Chromosome 22 Bulletin Board up an running since we are involved in sequencing the bcr gene on 22 in a collaboration with John Groffen's group. He has supplied us with clones covering the region (exons and introns) and at present we are hard at sequencing them. We also are sequencing the c-abl gene on Chromosome 9 and several clones containing 9Q:22 chromosomal translocation break points. If anyone out there has clones containing c-abl/bcr chromosomal break points we would be interested in hearing from them and trying to arrange to sequence them. I should caution however that our actual sequencing is going much slower that we would like as we have been trying to automate as many of the methods as we can and been developing more accurate methods for sequencing. Good luck to all you mappers out there and hopefully once you have the map, those of us who are sequencers will be ready. Best regards to one and all, Bruce A.
