| [the existence in europe of four groups of mice (genus mus l.) of species and subspecies rank, demonstrated by biochemical genetics]. | analysis at 20 genetic loci by starch gel electrophoresis of a population from greece shows that contrary to most accepted views, the outdoor eastern mediterranean short-tailed mouse (i) does not belong to the same species as the house mouse (mus musculus), (ii) is not less distant from the eastern european semi-species of house mouse (biochemical group 2) than from the western and mediterranean european semi-species (group 1), and (iii) is not more closely related to the outdoor western mediter ... | 1978 | 103641 |
| genetic linkage analysis of the murine developmental mutant velvet coat (ve) and the distal chromosome 15 developmental genes hox-3.1, rar-g, wnt-1, and krt-2. | we have identified restriction fragment length polymorphisms between mus musculus and mus spretus for the chromosome 15 loci hox-3, wnt-1, krt-2, rar-g, and ly-6. we followed the inheritance of these alleles in interspecific genetic test crosses between velvet coat (ve) heterozygotes and m. spretus. the results suggest a gene order and recombination distances (in cm) of ly-6-22-wnt-1-2-ve/krt-2/rar-g-3-hox-3. no recombination was found between ve, krt-2, and rar-g. the data also provide evidence ... | 1992 | 1379621 |
| an interspecific linkage map of mouse chromosome 15 positioned with respect to the centromere. | we have used an interspecific backcross between c57bl/6j and mus spretus to derive a molecular genetic linkage map of chromosome 15 that includes 25 molecular markers and spans 93% of the estimated length of chromosome 15. using a second interspecific backcross that was analyzed with a centromere-specific marker, we were also able to position our map with respect to the chromosome 15 centromere. this map provides molecular access to many discrete regions on chromosome 15, thus providing a framew ... | 1992 | 1354638 |
| analysis of sex-chromosome aneuploidy in interspecific backcross progeny between the laboratory mouse strain c57bl/6 and mus spretus. | sex-chromosomal aneuploidy was identified in four female progeny of 200 interspecific backcrosses between laboratory mice (c57bl/6ros) and mus spretus. the progeny included two 39,xo monosomy mice resulting from a backcross with m. spretus, as well as a 41,xxx trisomic mouse and a 40,xx/41,xxx mosaic mouse resulting from two separate backcrosses with c57bl/6 mice. the parental origin and meiotic stage of the aneuploidies was determined for each of the mice using a series of markers that identifi ... | 1992 | 1349860 |
| wobbler, a mutation affecting motoneuron survival and gonadal functions in the mouse, maps to proximal chromosome 11. | the wobbler mouse (genotype wr/wr) has been considered as an animal model for human neurodegenerative disorders. in the homozygous condition, the autosomal mutation wobbler (wr) causes a motoneuron disease and gonadal dysfunction. we have genetically mapped the wr gene, using an interspecific backcross between the laboratory strain c57bl/6j (wr/+) and mus spretus. the expected percentage of wobbler progeny were obtained, but heterogeneous expression of the wobbler phenotype indicated the existen ... | 1992 | 1349581 |
| localization of growth arrest-specific genes on mouse chromosomes 1, 7, 8, 11, 13, and 16. | growth arrest in nih3t3 cells is associated with increased expression of a variety of mrnas, several of which have been isolated as cdna clones. six of these growth arrest-specific (gas) genes were mapped by following the inheritance of dna restriction fragment length variants (rflvs) associated with them in panels of recombinant inbred (ri) strains of mice and in the progeny of backcrosses both between laboratory mouse strains and between a laboratory strain and mus spretus. the six genes are u ... | 1992 | 1347472 |
| evidence for the presence of two sympatric species of mice (genus mus l.) in southern france based on biochemical genetics. | populations of mice established outdoors as well as indoors have been investigated at 24 loci using starch gel electrophoresis. two reproductively isolated groups are recognized, one of which is referable to a house mouse subspecies, mus musculus brevirostris, and the other to a different species. mus spretus, contrary to the view of schwarz and schwarz that only one species of mus is present in the mediterranean basin. the genetic distance between these two groups is larger than between any pai ... | 1978 | 678291 |
| [2 new esterase loci es-14 and es-15 in mice (genus muc l.) : characterization by different substrates and inhibitors]. | allelic differences at an esterase locus designated es-14 exist between mus musculus (both inbred strains and wild mice) and mus spretus. this locus is expressed in a variety of tissues. mus musculus has been assigned the allele es-14r while mus spretus carries the alternate alleles es-14l. each phenotype manifests itself as a single band of enzyme activity and f1 hybrids show two bands corresponding to the parental forms. allozyme variation was also detected at another esterase locus, temporari ... | 1979 | 115606 |
| genetic mapping on the mouse x chromosome of human cdna clones for the fragile x and hunter syndromes. | murine x-linked genes corresponding to the human fragile x (fmr1) and hunter syndrome (ids) loci have been mapped in an interspecific backcross between b6cba-aw-j/a-bpa and mus spretus using human cdna clones. pedigree analysis of recombinants from a total of 248 backcross progeny favors a gene order of (cf-9, mcf-2)-(fmr-1)-ids-gabra3-rsvp. gene order is conserved between the species, although no fragile site has been detected in the mouse in this region of the murine x chromosome. | 1992 | 1572654 |
| isolation and initial characterization of a large repeat sequence element specific to mouse chromosome 8. | a clone containing 15.6 kb of mouse genomic dna was specifically localized to murine chromosome 8 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. the major signal, mapping just below the centromeric heterochromatin, was much too intense for a single-copy probe. two additional weak hybridization signals were detected in or near distal bands 8b3 and 8d. six subclones spanning the entire 15.6-kb insert gave strong centromere proximal signals; however, none of these clones cross-hybridized with each other, s ... | 1992 | 1559702 |
| chromosomal localization of the murine gene and two related sequences encoding high-mobility-group i and y proteins. | hmg-i and its isoform hmg-y are members of the abundant high-mobility-group of nonhistone chromatin proteins; they bind to a + t-rich regions of chromosomal dna and are expressed at high levels in rapidly dividing, undifferentiated mammalian cells. hmg-i and hmg-y are alternatively spliced products of a single functional gene, designated hmgi in the mouse. here, we report the occurrence of at least three distinct hmgi-related loci in the mouse. only one of these loci was present in all of the 10 ... | 1992 | 1559701 |
| a linkage map of mouse chromosome 1 using an interspecific cross segregating for the gld autoimmunity mutation. | an interspecific backcross was used to define a high resolution linkage map of mouse chromosome (chr) 1 and to analyze the segregation of the generalized lymphoproliferative disease (gld) mutation. mice homozygous for gld have multiple features of autoimmune disease. analysis of up to 428 progeny from the backcross [(c3h/hej-gld x mus spretus)f1 x c3h/hej-gld] established a map that spans 77.6 cm and includes 56 markers distributed over 34 ordered genetic loci. the gld mutation was mapped to a l ... | 1992 | 1543910 |
| linkage, but not gene order, of homologous loci, including alpha-l-iduronidase (idua), is conserved in the huntington disease region of the mouse and human genomes. | alpha-l-iduronidase (idua), which when deficient causes mucopolysaccharidosis type i, is located near the huntington disease locus (hd) on human chromosome (chr) 4p16.3, approximately 10(6) base pairs (bp) from the telomere. as part of our continuing efforts to define a detailed comparative map for this chromosomal segment in mice and humans, we have used an interspecific backcross between c57bl/6j and an inbred strain derived from mus spretus to map idua, the mouse homolog of idua. we also mapp ... | 1992 | 1533802 |
| the l-isoaspartyl/d-aspartyl protein methyltransferase gene (pcmt1) maps to human chromosome 6q22.3-6q24 and the syntenic region of mouse chromosome 10. | we have mapped the genes for the human and mouse l-isoaspartyl/d-aspartyl protein carboxyl methyltransferase (ec 2.1.1.77) using cdna probes. we determined that the human gene is present in chromosome 6 by southern blot analysis of dna from a panel of mouse-human somatic cell hybrids. in situ hybridization studies allowed us to confirm this identification and further localize the human gene (pcmt1) to the 6q22.3-6q24 region. by analyzing the presence of an ecori polymorphism in dna from backcros ... | 1992 | 1478665 |
| mapping of the structural gene for s-adenosyl homocysteine hydrolase to mouse chromosome 2, and related sequences to chromosomes 8 and x. | comparative mapping studies in human and mouse have shown that, to date, human chromosome (chr) 20 is completely syntenic with distal mouse chr 2. the structural locus for s-adenosyl-l-homocysteine hydrolase (ec 3.3.1.1) in human, ahcy, maps to 20 qter-->q13.1, and we report here that the homologous locus in the mouse, ahcy, maps to distal mouse chr 2 with gene order pcna-ahcy-ada. analysis of 123 progeny of an interspecific backcross between a laboratory stock, an, and mus spretus using a rat c ... | 1992 | 1450513 |
| mouse microsatellites from a flow-sorted 4:6 robertsonian chromosome. | twenty microsatellites were generated from a previously characterized lambda gt10 library containing c57bl/6j mouse dna from a flow-sorted 4:6 robertsonian chromosome. these sequences were analyzed for size variation between different strains of mice with the polymerase chain reaction (pcr) and mapped by use of either strain distribution patterns (sdps) in recombinant inbred (ri) strains, or intra- and interspecific backcrosses. eighty-five percent of the sequences showed allelic variations betw ... | 1992 | 1450512 |
| the mouse alpha 1(xii) and human alpha 1(xii)-like collagen genes are localized on mouse chromosome 9 and human chromosome 6. | type xii collagen is a member of the facit (fibril-associated collagens with interrupted triple helices) group of extracellular matrix proteins. like the other members of this group, collagen types ix and xiv, type xii has alternating triple-helical and non-triple-helical domains. because of its structure, its association with collagen fibrils, and its distribution in dense connective tissues, type xii is thought possibly to act as a cross-bridge between fibrils and resist shear forces caused by ... | 1992 | 1427837 |
| deficiency of x and y chromosomal pairing at meiotic prophase in spermatocytes of sterile interspecific hybrids between laboratory mice (mus domesticus) and mus spretus. | the normal association between the x and y chromosomes at metaphase i of meiosis, as seen in air-dried light microscope preparations of mouse spermatocytes, is frequently lacking in the spermatocytes of the sterile interspecific hybrid between the laboratory mouse strains c57bl/6 and mus spretus. the purpose of this work is to determine whether the separate x and y chromosomes in the hybrid are asynaptic, caused by failure to pair, or desynaptic, caused by precocious dissociation. unpaired x-y c ... | 1992 | 1424992 |
| fingerprinting genomes by use of pcr with primers that encode protein motifs or contain sequences that regulate gene expression. | pcr primers of arbitrary nucleotide sequence have identified dna polymorphisms useful for genetic mapping in a large variety of organisms. although technically very powerful, the use of arbitrary primers for genome mapping has the disadvantage of characterizing dna sequences of unknown function. thus, there is no reason to anticipate that dna fragments amplified by use of arbitrary primers will be enriched for either transcribed or promoter sequences that may be conserved in evolution. for these ... | 1992 | 1421760 |
| activation of the prolactin receptor gene by promoter insertion in a moloney murine leukemia virus-induced rat thymoma. | the prolactin receptor (prlr) and growth hormone receptor (ghr) genes and the moloney murine leukemia virus integration-2 (mlvi-2) locus were mapped to mouse chromosome 15 and human chromosome 5 bands p12-p14. to examine the potential relationship between mlvi-2 and the genes encoding the growth hormone receptor and the prolactin receptor, we determined the chromosomal location of all three loci in the rat, using a panel of rat-mouse somatic cell hybrids, and in the mouse, using a panel of (c57b ... | 1992 | 1404614 |
| analysis of high complement levels in mus hortulanus and bub mice. | bub/bnj mice were previously identified as having exceptionally potent complement activity, relative to common mouse strains, in the lysis of antibody-coated human tumor cells. we describe herein our investigation into the molecular and genetic basis for this difference between mouse strains, and also our results with wild mice and mouse strains recently derived from the wild, to determine whether low complement levels are characteristic of wild mice. bub complement was compared with complement ... | 1992 | 1401942 |
| homologous chromosomal locations of the four genes for inter-alpha-inhibitor and pre-alpha-inhibitor family in human and mouse: assignment of the ancestral gene for the lipocalin superfamily. | the inter-alpha-inhibitor (i alpha i) and pre-alpha-inhibitor (p alpha i) family is composed of three plasma protease inhibitors, i alpha i, p alpha i, and bikunin, whose chains are encoded by a set of three evolutionarily related heavy (h) chain genes designated h1, h2, and h3 and a fourth gene, the so-called alpha 1-microglobulin/bikunin precursor (ambp) gene. the latter codes for a precursor that splits into: (i) alpha 1-microglobulin, which belongs to the lipocalin superfamily; and (ii) biku ... | 1992 | 1385302 |
| identification and mapping of six microdissected genomic dna probes to the proximal region of mouse chromosome 1. | six independent dna probes, lambda mm1c-150, lambda mm1c-153, lambda mm1c-156, lambda mm1c-162, lambda mm1c-163, and lambda mm1c-165, have been isolated from a library of microdissected fragments from mouse chromosome 1, spanning cytogenetic bands c2 to c5. these dna probes have been mapped by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis with respect to 12 marker loci previously assigned to this portion of mouse chromosome 1, in a panel of 251 segregating mus spretus x c57bl/6j interspecifi ... | 1992 | 1358796 |
| a molecular genetic linkage map of mouse chromosome 18 reveals extensive linkage conservation with human chromosomes 5 and 18. | an interspecific backcross between c57bl/6j and mus spretus was used to generate a molecular genetic linkage map of mouse chromosome 18 that includes 23 molecular markers and spans approximately 86% of the estimated length of the chromosome. the apc, camk2a, d18fcr1, d18fcr2, d18leh1, d18leh2, dcc, emb-rs3, fgfa, fim-2/csfmr, gnal, grl-1, grp, hk-1rs1, ii, kns, lmnb, mbp, mcc, mtv-38, palb, pdgfrb, and tpl-2 genes were mapped relative to each other in one interspecific backcross. a second inters ... | 1992 | 1354644 |
| a multipoint genetic linkage map of mouse chromosome 18. | we have mapped 13 loci on mouse chromosome 18 by southern blot analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphisms among progeny from an interspecific backcross: (c57bl/6j x mus spretus) x m. spretus. complete haplotype analysis of 136 of these progeny was used to establish gene order and estimate genetic distances between loci. the gene order (from centromere to telomere) and recombination distances (in centimorgans) were as follows: pgk-1rs5-4.3-tpi-10-11.8-(egr-1, hmg17-rs9)-2.1-fgfa-2.2-gr ... | 1992 | 1354640 |
| mapping of fmr1, the gene implicated in fragile x-linked mental retardation, on the mouse x chromosome. | a genetic map of the cf-9 to dmd region of the mouse x chromosome has been established by typing 100 offspring from a mus musculus x mus spretus interspecific backcross for the four loci cf-9, cdr, gabra3, and dmd. the following order and genetic distances in centimorgans were determined: (cf-9)-2.4 +/- 1.7-(cdr)-2.0 +/- 1.4-(gabra3)-4.1 +/- 2.0-(dmd). six backcross offspring carrying x chromosomes with recombination events in the cdr-dmd region were identified. these recombination events were u ... | 1992 | 1572655 |
| genetic mapping of two dna markers, d16ros1 and d16ros2, flanking the mutation site in the chakragati mouse, a transgenic insertional mutant. | we present here the genetic mapping of two novel loci, d16ros1 and d16ros2, to mouse chromosome (chr) 16. the probes for these loci were genomic fragments isolated from the chakragati mouse, a behavioral mutant resulting from insertional mutagenesis during the course of making transgenic mice. d16ros1 and d16ros2 were first mapped by recombinant inbred (ri) strain analysis and subsequently by the analysis of 145 progeny of two interspecific backcrosses between mus domesticus and mus spretus. the ... | 1992 | 1581634 |
| an amino acid change in the dna-binding region of sry, found in mus musculus domesticus and other species, does not explain c57bl/6j-ydom sex-reversal. | sry is the testes determining factor gene located on the y chromosome. we have performed dideoxy sequencing or restriction enzyme digestion of sry sequences amplified by pcr from a variety of inbred strains and species of mice. a nonconservative replacement of thr for isoleu at position 61 was found in sry from the y chromosome of mus musculus domesticus, mus spretus, and mus caroli. we demonstrate that this variation is not sufficient to explain the gradiation in the sex-reversal seen when diff ... | 1992 | 1599466 |
| lactate dehydrogenase polymorphism in mus musculus l. and mus spretus lataste. | first variation at the ldh-a locus and a new allele at the ldh-b locus are reported in a m. musculus population dimorphic at the ldh-a locus and in a m. spretus population trimorphic at the ldh-b locus. | 1978 | 720506 |
| [hybridization between mus musculus l. and mus spretus lataste under laboratory conditions (author's transl)]. | 2 species of mice mus musculus brevirostris and mus spretus are sympatric in southern france and reproductively isolated. however, under laboratory conditions, they breed and give fully viable f 1 hybrids. this indicates that premating isolating mechanisms probably occur in nature and have yet to be investigated. moreover, it now enables us to introduce new genetical markers in laboratory strains. | 1978 | 720505 |
| molecular mapping of mouse chromosomes 4 and 6: use of a flow-sorted robertsonian chromosome. | the development of dense genetic maps of mammalian chromosomes is facilitated when chromosome-specific libraries are used as a source of genetic markers. to saturate the genetic maps of mouse chromosomes 4 and 6, we have made use of fluorescent-activated chromosome sorting to purify a 4:6 robertsonian chromosome from a cell line harboring the rb(4:6)2bnr translocation. after staining with chromomycin a3 and hoechst 33528, this chromosome was separated from the other mouse chromosomes. dna was is ... | 1992 | 1639403 |
| genetic variation in mouse apolipoprotein a-iv due to insertion and deletion in a region of tandem repeats. | we have detected three unique apolipoprotein a-iv (apoa-iv) charge isoforms in strains of commensal mice. the cdna sequences for one representative of each isoform (mus domestesticus strains c57bl/6j and 129/j and mus castaneus) revealed a polymorphism within a series of four imperfect repeats encoding the sequence glu-gln-ala/val-gln. insertions or deletions of 12 nucleotides within this repetitive region have given rise to three genotypes characterized by three (129), four (c57bl/6), or five ( ... | 1991 | 1648102 |
| genetic maps of mouse chromosome 17 including 12 new anonymous dna loci and 25 anchor loci. | an interspecific backcross between lab mice and mus spretus was used to construct a multilocus map of chromosome 17 consisting of 12 new anonymous loci and 9 anchor loci. in addition, 7 anonymous dna loci were added to the chr 17 map for the bxd strains. although we were able to identify readily the most likely gene order in the interspecific backcross, we found no evidence for an unambiguous gene order using the bxd recombinant inbred strains. comparison of the interspecific backcross map and t ... | 1991 | 1672293 |
| the multipoint genetic mapping of mouse chromosome 16. | utilizing a mus spretus/mus domesticus (c57bl/10) interspecific backcross, we have constructed a multipoint genetic map of mouse chromosome 16 that extends 43.2 cm from the proximal prm-1 locus to the distal ets-2 locus. the genetic map incorporates three new markers: d16smh6, a random genomic clone; pgk-1ps1, a phosphoglycerate kinase pseudogene; and the growth-associated protein gap43. the map position of gap43 indicates the presence, on mouse chromosome 16, of a significant-size conserved lin ... | 1991 | 1672298 |
| genetic mapping of the mouse x chromosome in the region homologous to human xq27-xq28. | the four loci gabra3, dxpas8, caml1, and bpa, located near the murine x-linked visual pigment gene (rsvp), have been ordered using 248 backcross progeny from an interspecific mating of (b6cba-aw-j/a-bpa) and mus spretus. one hundred twenty backcross progeny have been analyzed at seven anchor loci spanning the x chromosome and form a regional mapping panel. an additional 128 progeny have been screened for recombination events between cf-9 and dmd. eighteen recombinants between these loci have bee ... | 1991 | 1674728 |
| high-density molecular map of the central span of the mouse x chromosome. | a total of 17 linking clones previously sublocalized to the central span of the mouse x chromosome have been ordered by detailed analysis through interspecific mus spretus/mus musculus domesticus backcross progeny. these probes have been positioned with respect to existing dna markers utilizing a new interspecific backcross segregating for the tabby (ta) locus. the density of clones within this 11.5-cm interval is now, on average, one clone every 1000 kb. this high-density map provides probes in ... | 1991 | 1675191 |
| a novel mouse chromosome 17 hybrid sterility locus: implications for the origin of t haplotypes. | the effects of heterospecific combinations of mouse chromosome 17 on male fertility and transmission ratio were investigated through a series of breeding studies. animals were bred to carry complete chromosome 17 homologs, or portions thereof, from three different sources-mus domesticus, mus spretus and t haplotypes. these chromosome 17 combinations were analyzed for fertility within the context of a m. domesticus or m. spretus genetic background. two new forms of hybrid sterility were identifie ... | 1991 | 1936961 |
| chromosomal location of the octamer transcription factors, otf-1, otf-2, and otf-3, defines multiple otf-3-related sequences dispersed in the mouse genome. | chromosomal locations have been assigned for the octamer transcription factor, otf, gene family (previously named the octamer-binding protein, oct, gene family) using an interspecific backcross of [(c57bl/6j x mus spretus)f1 x c57bl/6j] mice and the bxh recombinant inbred strains. molecular probes for otf-1 and otf-2 recognized single loci on mouse chromosomes 1 and 7, respectively, whereas probes for otf-3 recognized a minimum of eight independently segregating loci (designated otf-3a through o ... | 1991 | 1676977 |
| mouse ferritin h multigene family is polymorphic and contains a single multiallelic functional gene located on chromosome 19. | multiple ferritin h subunit sequences are present in the genome of higher vertebrates, but it is not yet known with certainty if more than one is expressed. in this paper, we provide evidence that there is only one functional ferritin h gene in the mouse. we screened a mouse genomic library using a mouse ferritin h cdna as a probe and characterized five clones. these genomic clones proved to contain three pseudogenes and two allelic forms of a unique functional gene. these two alleles differed b ... | 1991 | 1679743 |
| mapping of the glycine receptor alpha 2-subunit gene and the gabaa alpha 3-subunit gene on the mouse x chromosome. | we have mapped the gene for the alpha 2-subunit of the inhibitory glycine receptor (glra2) to the telomeric end of the mouse x chromosome by backcross analysis of a mus musculus/mus spretus interspecific cross. in addition, we have extended the mapping of the gabaa alpha 3-subunit receptor gene (gabra3). a deduced gene order of cen-cybb-hprt-dxpas6-gabra3-rsvp-gdx/cf-8- dmd-pgk-1-dxpas2-plp-dxpas1-glra2-tel places gabra3 proximal to the visual pigment gene rsvp and glra2 in the region of loci fo ... | 1991 | 1679744 |
| three brain sodium channel alpha-subunit genes are clustered on the proximal segment of mouse chromosome 2. | we have used long-range physical mapping and restriction fragment length polymorphisms between two mouse species to determine the chromosomal organization and location of the genes encoding three distinct isoforms of the alpha-subunit of the brain sodium channel. physical mapping by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis has established that scn2a and scn3a (genes encoding type ii and type iii sodium channel alpha-subunit isoforms) are physically linked and are separated by a maximum distance of 600 k ... | 1991 | 1679748 |
| molecular genetic linkage maps of mouse chromosomes 4 and 6. | we have generated a moderate resolution genetic map of mouse chromosomes 4 and 6 utilizing a (c57bl/6j x mus spretus) f1 x mus spretus backcross with rflps for 31 probes. the map for chromosome 4 covers 77 cm and details a large region of homology to human chromosome 1p. the map establishes the breakpoints in the mouse 4-human 1p region of homology to a 2-cm interval between ifa and jun in mouse and to the interval between jun and acadm in human. the map for mouse chromosome 6 spans a 65-cm regi ... | 1991 | 1684952 |
| mapping anti-müllerian hormone (amh) and related sequences in the mouse: identification of a new region of homology between mmu10 and hsa19p. | a panel of 78 backcross progeny, balb/cj x (balb/cj x cast/ei)f1, was used to map the gene encoding anti-müllerian hormone (amh), also called müllerian inhibiting substance, to mouse chromosome 10 (mmu10). this analysis identified a new region of linkage homology between human chromosome 19p (hsa 19p) and mmu10 and localized an apparent recombinational hot spot in (c57bl/6j x mus spretus)f1 females [compared with (balb/cj x cast/ei)f1 males] to the interval between phenylalanine hydroxylase (pah ... | 1991 | 1685136 |
| determination of a molecular map position for hyp using a new interspecific backcross produced by in vitro fertilization. | we have established a mus spretus/mus musculus domesticus interspecific backcross segregating for two x-linked mutant genes, ta and hyp, using in vitro fertilization. the haplotype of the recombinant x chromosome of each of 241 backcross progeny has been established using the x-linked anchor loci otc, hprt, dmd, pgk-1, and amg and the additional probes dxsmh43 and cbx-rs1. the hyp locus (putative homologue of the human disease gene hypophosphatemic rickets, hyp) has been incorporated into the mo ... | 1991 | 1685478 |
| molecular mapping of the mouse ob mutation. | the mouse ob mutation has been mapped relative to a series of rflps among the progeny of three separate mouse crosses: an intraspecific backcross, an intraspecific intercross, and an interspecific intercross. genotypic assignment at the ob locus was made by making use of measurements of body mass index and the plasma concentrations of glucose and insulin. these data have suggested that the development of diabetes in these animals is a consequence of unlinked polygenes. there was also evidence th ... | 1991 | 1686014 |
| zfa is an expressed retroposon derived from an alternative transcript of the zfx gene. | zfy, a gene on the y chromosome encoding a zinc finger protein, has been proposed as a candidate for the human testis determining gene. sequences related to zfy, called zfx, are present on the x chromosome of a wide range of placental mammals. unlike most mammals the mouse has four genes homologous to zfy; two on the y chromosome, zfy-1 and zfy-2, an x-linked gene, zfx, and an autosomal gene, zfa. we show here that zfa has arisen recently by retroposition of one of at least three alternatively s ... | 1990 | 1691708 |
| recent evolutionary origin of the expression of the glial fibrillary acidic protein (gfap) in lens epithelial cells. a molecular and genetic analysis of various mouse species. | we have investigated the phylogenetic distribution of the glial fibrillary acidic protein (gfap) in lens epithelial cells (lec) of various mouse species within the genus mus. we have shown that lens gfap is expressed in mice of the mus musculus complex and in mus spicilegus and mus macedonicus species (l.gfap(+) phenotype) while it is absent in mus spretus, mus caroli and mus cooki species (l.gfap(-) phenotype). our results argue in favour of one of the phenograms illustrating the probable phylo ... | 1991 | 1712888 |
