Abstract:
Construction of a comprehensive comparative map between swine and human chromosomes is a prerequisite, in order to select candidate swine genes for traits from the human genome database as well as to understand the evolutionary process of the two species. The present study attempted to use 910 sequence-tagged sites (STSs) localized in human chromosome (HSA) 1p36-->p35 (35 Mbp) for radiation hybrid (RH) mapping to swine chromosomes (SSCs). Out of the 910 STSs subjected to amplification of swine orthologues, primer pairs for 13 STSs were found to amplify the respective orthologues and the STSs were assigned to SSCs. Eleven STSs were assigned to SSC6 in the same order as that in HSA1: SSC6cen-(SHGC-150)-(A006H31)-(X82877)-(A007E03)-(IB404)-(stGDB:371372)-(stSG31658)-(A009Q18)-(stSG14201/A009C01)-(H08335)-qter. One of the remaining two STSs, WI-20819, was assigned to SSCX, and the other, R91D18R, was not linked to any first-generation markers of the IMpRH map with a lod score greater than 3.
