Abstract
No recombination was detected between two X-linked loci, RNR (Xp) and GPD (Xq), among 69 backcross progeny of two distantly related tammar w allaby (Macropus eugenii) subspecies. RNR loci are not dosage compensa ted, whereas the GPD locus is subject to the paternal X chromosome ina ctivation system that characterises female marsupials. The border of t he region controlled by the marsupial X chromosome inactivation system has therefore been shown to lie between RNR and GPD.
