Clone names are clickable and retrieve the cosmid EMBL entry.

The 3 centromeres are also available as contiguated sequence (the remaining gap in each CEN is represented by 1000 N's)

Note: Recent work by Chad Ellermeier and Gerry Smith suggests that there are only 4 +/- 1 copies of the 6760 bp repeat missing from chromosome 3

Please note: This is a schematic diagram. Distances and overlaps are approximate. Please refer to the sequence data to design experimental constructs.
