Jm. Lumsden et al., CHARACTERIZATION AND LINKAGE MAPPING OFTEN SHEEP MICROSATELLITE MARKERS DERIVED FROM A SHEEP X HAMSTER-CELL HYBRID, Animal genetics, 27(3), 1996, pp. 203-206
A cosmid library has been constructed from a sheep x hamster cell hybr
id containing sheep chromosome t(1), rob (6;24). Clones containing she
ep DNA were identified by hybridizing to a total sheep genomic DNA pro
be. Small fragments (<500 bp) containing (AC)(n) microsatellites were
subcloned and sequenced. Ten microsatellite markers were characterized
and six were mapped back to chromosomes 6 and 24. The remaining micro
satellites mapped to chromosome 26, which was shown to be present in a
small proportion of cells of the cell line.
