Chromosome jumping A (difficult?) cloning method which can be used to isolate clones at a desired distance (in the range of 100 - 300 kb) along a chromosome from the starting clone.
Chromosome jumping
A technique of isolating clones from a genomic library that are not contiguous by skipping a region between known points on the chromosome.
Linkage studies further narrowed the area to which the NF1 gene could be located, and the Michigan and Utah researchers employed novel techniques such as chromosome jumping (developed by Collins' group) and yeast artificial chromosomes.
