title: PCR derived cDNA clones for X-linked phosphoglycerate kinase-1 in a marsupial, the tammar wallaby (Macropus eugenii).
abstract: cDNA clones for the X-linked PGK-1 were obtained from a tammar wallaby liver by PCR and sequenced. The PGK-1 gene published here is the consensus sequence of those clones. The sequence represents an open reading frame of 1251 bp. Sequence comparisons to X-linked and autosomal sequences showed the greatest homology with the X-linked PGK-1 genes in eutherian species. This sequence opens the way for studying the paternal X inactivation phenomenon in marsupials and will assist in defining the time course of mammalian evolution.
