title: Linkage analysis of the murine mos proto-oncogene on chromosome 4.
abstract: A linkage analysis of the murine Mos gene, which codes for the c-mos proto-oncogene, was performed in 88 backcross progeny of an interspecies cross of laboratory mice and Mus spretus. Linkage was tested for four different genes on mouse chromosome 4: Aco-1, Mup-1, b, and Ifb. The gene order (from centromere) with intervening percentage recombination is Mos-15.9 (+/- 3.9)-Aco-1-5.6 (+/- 2.4)-Mup-1-3.4 (+/- 1.9)-b-5.6 (+/- 2.4)-Ifb. These results confirm the previous assignment of Mos to chromosome 4 on the basis of segregation in somatic cell hybrids (D. Swan et al., 1982, J. Virol. 44: 752-754) and show furthermore that Mos and the Ifa/Ifb clusters are not tightly linked as a group of intronless genes, but are separated by a map distance of 30.6 +/- 4.9 recombination units. The linkage data obtained in the present study place Mos in a region compatible with the physical map (D. W. Threadgill and J. E. Womack, 1988, Genomics 3: 82-86).
