We have isolated six ATOX1 loci from the canine genome in BAC clones. Seque
nce analysis showed that five of these clones correspond to processed pseud
ogenes. Fluorescent in situ hybridization allowed us to map the genuine ATO
X1 gene to CFA4q24-->q31 and the ATOX1 pseudogenes to CFA19q13.1, CFA4q24--
->q31, CFA18q24-->q25, CFA9q22.1 -->q22.2 and CFA20q11-->q12. Copyright (C)
