Abstract
We present here the genetic mapping of the alpha-skeletal actin locus (Actsk-1) on mouse Chromosome (Chr) 8, on the basis of the PCR analysis of a microsatellite in an interspecific backcross. Linkage and genetic distances were established for four loci by analysis of 192 (or 222) meiotic events and indicated the following gene order: (centromere)-Es-1-11.7 cM-Tat-8.3 cM-Actsk-1-0.5 cM-Aprt. Mapping of ACTSK to human Chr 1 and of TAT and APRT to human Chr 16 demonstrates the existence of a new short region of homology between mouse Chr 8 and human Chr 1. Intermingling on this scale between human and mouse chromosomal homologies that occurred during evolution creates disorders in comparative linkage studies.Entities:
