Y. Wakabayashi et al., GENETIC AND PHYSICAL DELINEATION OF THE REGION OF THE MOUSE DEAFNESS MUTATION SHAKER-2, Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 234(1), 1997, pp. 107-110
A total of 951 backcross progeny have been obtained from a backcross s
egregating for the mouse deafness mutation, shaker-2(sh-2). Linkage an
alysis provides a detailed genetic map in the vicinity of sh-2 which c
omprises 40 backcross mice identified as recombinant within a 4 cM reg
ion. This allows construction of a contig consisting of 21 BAC clones
across an approximately 700-kb region of sh-2. This covers the entire
nonrecombinant region of sh-2 and is therefore useful to facilitate th
e identification of genes in the sh-2 region. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
