Description
A resource of 1064 cultured lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs)(1) from individuals in different world populations and corresponding milligram quantities of DNA is deposited at the Foundation Jean Dausset (CEPH)(2) in Paris. LCLs were collected from various laboratories by the Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP)(3) and CEPH to provide unlimited supplies of DNA for studies of sequence diversity and history of modern human populations. Information for each LCL is limited to sex, population, and geographic origin of the individual. Each LCL is registered in a project-specific database and provided with a CEPH-generated, numeric identifier that labels the LCL, its corresponding DNA, and subject information. Every product derived from an LCL is labeled with a unique alpha-numeric bar-code. LCLs were tested for mycoplasma infestation by a polymerase chain reaction-based test (4). All lines showing …
