Abstract
Sixteen polymorphic markers, including markers for eight new loci, forming three linkage groups, were assigned to rat Chromosome (Chr) 4 by linkage analysis of the progeny of an F2 intercross of Fischer (F344/N) and Lewis (LEW/N) inbred rats. One gene, Igk, was mapped by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis. One marker for Tcrb was identified by the polymorphic insertion of a repetitive LINE element. The remaining 14 markers contained polymorphic simple sequence repeats (SSRs). Ten were identified in genes (Tgfa, Npy, Prss1, Prss2, Aldr1, Iapp, Prp, Eno2, Cacnl1a1, and Il6), one was identified in a sequence related to a gene (Egr4l1), and three were identified in anonymous DNA segments. The SSR markers were highly polymorphic in 16 inbred rat strains. These markers expand the genetic map of the rat and should be useful in future genetic studies of inbred rats.Entities:
