title: Chromosomal localization of chicken sequences homologous to the beta-actin gene by in situ hybridization.
abstract: In situ DNA/chromosome hybridization techniques were used to localize the cytoplasmic beta-actin gene in the chicken. Hybridization of a beta-actin cDNA probe to metaphase chromosome spreads indicated that sequences complementary to this probe are located on the long arm of chromosome 2 (2q) and one of chromosomes 9 through 12.
