Radiation Hybrid Mapping MeSH Descriptor Data 2026


MeSH Heading
Radiation Hybrid Mapping
Tree Number(s)
E05.393.183.620.405
Unique ID
D021101
RDF Unique Identifier

Scope Note
A method for ordering genetic loci along CHROMOSOMES. The method involves fusing irradiated donor cells with host cells from another species. Following cell fusion, fragments of DNA from the irradiated cells become integrated into the chromosomes of the host cells. Molecular probing of DNA obtained from the fused cells is used to determine if two or more genetic loci are located within the same fragment of donor cell DNA.
