Genomic contiging and sequencing is performed in association with Dr. Mark Ross at the Sanger Centre, Cambridge. Key Publications Stanier, P., Forbes, S.A., Arnason, A., Bjornsson, A., Sveinbjornsdottir, E., Williamson, R. and Moore, G.E. (1993). The localisation of a gene causing X-linked cleft palate and ankyloglossia (CPX) in an Icelandic kindred is between DXS326 and DXYS1X. Genomics Forbes, S.A., Brennan, L., Richardson, M., Coffey, A., Bentley, D., Mumm, S., Moore, G.E. and Stanier, P. (1996).
