Characterization of a Group of Transposed Human VKGenes

Abstract
A genomic region with three VK pseudogenes which has been transposed to chromosome 22 is characterized by detailed restriction mapping. A number of subclones are described one of which proved useful to establish an allelic restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in the region. Allelic and duplication-derived restriction site differences in cosmid clones are discussed with respect to possible problems in genomic walking experiments.
