Se. Johnson et al., THE COSMID CSSM25 ASSIGNS SYNTENIC GROUP U2 TO BOVINE CHROMOSOME-9 AND IS LOCALIZED TO OVINE CHROMOSOME-8, Mammalian genome, 6(8), 1995, pp. 529-531
The cosmid-derived microsatellite CSSM 25 has previously been shown to
map to bovine syntenic group U2 by linkage and hybrid somatic cell an
alysis. We have mapped the cosmid by fluorescent in situ hybridization
to bovine Chromosome (Chr) 9q17-21 and ovine Chr 8q17-21 and hence as
sign U2 to Chr 9 in cattle. Bovine Chr 9 and ovine Chr 8 show strong b
anding pattern homology, and the localization of CSSM 25 to the same r
egion confirms the strong conservation of gene locations on these chro
mosomes.
