Comparative genome mapping in the sequence- based era: early experience with human chromosome 7, JW Thomas et.
A genome map in which STSs are positioned relative to one another on the basis of the frequency with which they are separated by radiation-induced breaks.
In their paper, the International Human Genome Mapping Consortium describe how they constructed the first whole- genome physical map, how they created the templates from which the genome was sequenced and demonstrated how the map was essential for the accurate assembly of the human genome by the publicly funded effort.

  Comparative genomic hybridization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) is a molecular-cytogenetic method for the analysis of copy number changes (gains /losses) in the DNA content of tumor cells.
The method is based on the hybridization of fluorescently labeled tumor (frequently Fluorescein - FITC) and normal DNA (frequently Rhodamine or Texas Red) to normal human metaphase preparations.
CGH is capable of detecting loss, gain and amplification of the copy number at the levels of chromosomes.

 Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) - Patent 5665549
Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) employs the kinetics of in situ hybridization to compare the copy numbers of different DNA or RNA sequences from a sample, or the copy numbers of different DNA or RNA sequences in one sample to the copy numbers of the substantially identical sequences in another sample.
CGH permits the comparison of nucleic acid sequence copy frequencies of any two or more genomes, even genomes of different species if their nucleic acid sequences are sufficiently complementary to allow for meaningful interpretation.
The kinetics of the CGH hybridizations are complicated.

 Automated Screening for Genomic Imbalances using Matrix-Based Comparative Genomic Hybridization   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Analysis of chromosomal imbalances by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) (Du Manoir et al, 1993; Joos et al, 1993; Kallioniemi et al, 1992) has greatly contributed to the current knowledge of genomic alterations associated with constitutional and sporadic genetic diseases (Forozan et al, 1997; Knuutila et al, 1998, 1999; Zitzelsberger et al, 2001).
One strategy to improve the hybridization efficiency is elevation of the hybridization temperature and simultaneous decrease of formamide (or increase of salt) concentration to adjust for the stringency of the reaction (Solinas-Toldo et al, 1997).
CGH to metaphase chromosome spreads was performed according to standard protocols (Lichter et al, 1995 and references therein).

 Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization
The basic strategy of the technique is to use genomic DNA from cancer cells labeled with one fluorochrome and genomic DNA from normal reference cells labeled with a second fluorochrome and co-hybridize the labeled samples to a metaphase spread from a normal reference cell (4).
Array CGH is a flexible platform that allows researchers to manipulate their genomic analysis with probe design and to perform high-throughput genetic analysis of tumor samples leading to a better understanding of the genetic causes of these cancers.

 Prostate MP at NCI, Comparative Genomic Hybridization
Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) is a fairly new molecular cytogenetic technique that allows detection of DNA sequence copy number changes throughout the genome in a single hybridization.
Regions of the genome that are either gained or lost in the tumor are indicated by the differences between binding of the two labeled DNAs as evidenced by the fluorescence intensity ratio profiles.
Several CGH studies on prostate cancer have been published, e.g., loss of 6q, 8p, 13q, and 16q, as well as gains of 7p, 7q, 8q and Xq, have been found to be common alterations in prostate cancer.

CGH is based on co- hybridization of differentially labeled tumor and normal DNA to human metaphase chromosomes.
This competitive hybridization is possible because fluorescent dyes with different emission spectra can be used on different samples, allowing samples tagged with the various dyes to be discriminated in imaging.
However, many DNA sequences arising from extinct organisms and ancient genomes [including from a Neanderthal, the late Neolithic "Iceman", Egyptian mummies, woolly mammoths, a quagga, a moa and medieval French rabbits] are in the database today, and the number is expected to grow as technology for the extraction and amplification of aged DNA progresses.
