Lm. Heltemes et al., ISOLATION AND MAPPING OF 2 CHICKEN POU FAMILY GENES AND THE IDENTIFICATION OF A SYNTENIC GROUP WITH HUMAN AND MOUSE, Animal genetics, 28(5), 1997, pp. 346-350
Two partial chicken POU domain genes were isolated by genomic library
screening and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR)
. A cDNA clone encoding the POU domain of Brn-3a, which showed near id
entity to the human Brn-3a sequence (100% amino acid identity), was is
olated and mapped to chicken linkage group E48. A Skn-1/Epoc-1/Oct-11
genomic clone was mapped to chicken linkage group E49. This mapping id
entified a syntenic group in chicken linkage group E49 that was conser
ved with human chromosome 11q23 and mouse chromosome 9.
