A. Makinen et al., LOCALIZATION OF 18S-RNA GENES IN THE DOG BY FLUORESCENCE IN-SITU HYBRIDIZATION(28S AND 5S RIBOSOMAL), Cytogenetics and cell genetics, 78(3-4), 1997, pp. 231-235
The gene clusters encoding 18S+28S and 5S rRNA in the dog (Canis famil
iaris) have been localized by using GTG-banding and fluorescence in si
tu hybridization. The 18S+28S rDNA maps to chromosome regions 7q2.5-->
q2.7, 17q1.7, qter of a medium-sized, not yet numbered autosome, and Y
q1.2 --> q1.3. Our data show that there is one cluster of 5S rDNA in t
he dog, which maps to chromosome region 4q1.4.
