CHROMOSOMAL LOCALIZATION OF 6 BOVINE MICROSATELLITE MARKERS

Six lambda genomic clones containing polymorphic microsatellite (MS) m arkers were assigned to bovine chromosomes 1, 3, 5, 7, 13 and 24 by fl uorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Linkage data for four MS mark ers were presented earlier and linkage data for the remaining two on c hromosome 7 and 24 are presented here. All assignments either orient o r confirm the orientation of linkage groups relative to the centromere , A comparison of physical assignments and linkage intervals was possi ble on chromosome 5 (three loci, 38 cM) and 13 (two loci, 6 cM).
