Notes:
Note 1: pMF228-14 under non-optimal hybridization conditions may hybridize non-specifically to human chromosomes.
Note 2: pMF402-27 is a replacement clone of pMF 2200-21 described in Reference 1 which was unstable. The pMF402-27 clone has a small deletion in the region described as unstable by Martin, et al. (Reference 2).
