title: A multilocus linkage map of mouse chromosome 8.
abstract: We present a genetic linkage map of mouse chromosome 8 that spans 53 cM and includes eight cloned loci. This map was derived from analysis of 100 progeny of an interspecific backcross between Mus spretus and Mus musculus domesticus. Genes that were mapped in this analysis include L7, Plat, Lpl, Ucp, Es, Mt-1, Um, and Tat. This analysis positions a new extremely proximal marker on chromosome 8, which is discussed as a potential candidate gene for the nervous locus. These linkage data will be useful for the mapping of additional loci on chromosome 8.
