We have determined the complete nucleotide sequence of a 36·8 kb segment from the left arm of chromosome XIV carried by the cosmid 14–11. The sequence encodes the 5′ coding region of the PSD1 gene, the 3′ coding region of an unknown gene and 24 complete open reading frames, of which 18 correspond to new genes and six ( SKO1, SCL41A, YGP1, YCK2, RPC31 and MFA2 ) have been sequenced previously. Of the 24 new genes, five show significant similarities to sequences present in the databanks. These include elongation factors 2 and the human myotonic dystrophy kinase. The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL databank under the Accession Number X92517.
