I. Harbitz et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF A PORCINE GLUCOSEPHOSPHATE ISOMERASE-PROCESSED PSEUDOGENE AT CHROMOSOME-1Q1.6-1.7, Mammalian genome, 4(10), 1993, pp. 589-592
A porcine glucosephosphate isomerase-processed pseudogene has been iso
lated and sequenced. The pseudogene has several base substitutions as
well as an insertion and deletions, and is 83% homologous to the corre
sponding cDNA. It contains an intervening sequence of 565 bp, is trunc
ated at the 3' end, and is flanked by direct repeats of seven nucleoti
des. Fluorescent in situ hybridization to porcine metaphase chromosome
s localized the processed pseudogene to Chromosome (Chr) 1q1.6-1.7. A
(GT)14(AT)15 microsatellite was detected close to the processed pseudo
gene.
