CHROMOSOME LOCALIZATION OF THE LOCI FOR PEPA, PEPB, PEPS, IDH1, GSR, MPI, PGM1, NP, SOD1, AND ME1 IN THE COMMON SHREW (SOREX ARAAEUS)

This report extends the genetic map of the common shrew (Set-ex araneu s) by adding chromosome assignments for ten genes to the seven already mapped (Pack et al. 1995). A somatic cell hybrid panel was used for t he mapping. The genes for peptidase A (PEPA) and isocitrate dehydrogen ase-l (IDH1) map to chromosome de; the genes for phosphoglucomutase-l (PGM1), superoxide dismutase-l (SOD1), and mannosephosphate isomerase (MPI) are located on chromosome af; the genes for nucleoside phosphory lase (NP) and glutathione reductase (GSR) are on chromosome ik; and th e genes for peptidase S (PEPS), malic enzyme-1 (ME1), peptidase B (PEP B) are found on chromosomes jl, go, and mp respectively.
