Figure Depicting Rapid Growth of Mapping Data

Figure not available.

The figure depicts the rapid growth of mapping data from 1973, when 64 genes were reported, through 1994 (as of 10/28/94), when over 40,000 genes and markers were submitted to the Genome Data Base. Nearly 60,000 genes and markers have been collected in all. Types of markers include D-segments-arbitrary DNA segments of unknown function-such as RFLPs and short tandem repeat polymorphisms. Before 1991, all mapping data were gathered at Human Gene Mapping Workshops; data from 1991-94 were submitted to Genome Data Base.
