Supplementary Table 1. Calculation of chromosome 3 euchromatic sequence gap sizes. The fibre-
FISH results were derived by making probes from BAC clones near the gap and subtracting subsequent
unique proximal sequence from the original results. (*) denotes FISH results where subsequent sequence
exceeds the original gap estimate. Sizes are in basepairs.
