title: Gene assignments and syntenic groups in the sacred baboon (Papio hamadryas).
abstract: Eighteen genes were assigned to chromosomes in the sacred baboon, Papio hamadryas, by their concordant segregation with the chromosomes in a set of baboon X Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrids. ACY1 was assigned to P. hamadryas chromosome 2 (PHA 2); SOD1 and MDH2 to PHA 3; ME1 and SOD2 to PHA 4; NP, MPI, PKM2, and HEXA to PHA 7; PP to PHA 9; ADA and ITPA to PHA 10; LDHB and TPI1 to PHA 11; MDH1 to PHA 13; ESD to PHA 17; and GPI and PEPD to PHA 20. Regional assignments were possible for ACY1 (PHA 2pter----q1) and MDH2 and SOD1 (PHA 3p). Five other independently segregating markers or syntenic groups (PGD, PGM1; and PEPC; PGM2 and PEPS; IDH1; LDHA and ACP2; and GSR) were also identified. Gene assignments and syntenic groups described in P. hamadryas are compared to those found in P. papio, the rhesus monkey, and man. A possible primate model for human lymphoid disease is discussed.
