title: The RB gene locates on chromosome 15 at band 15q13 in the Syrian hamster.
abstract: The retinoblastoma susceptibility gene, which encodes a nuclear phosphoprotein (Rb), plays an important role in cell-cycle progression in both normal development and tumorigenesis. Using a Syrian hamster cDNA probe homologous to the human retinoblastoma gene (RB), we have localized the gene to chromosome band 15q13 by conventional in situ hybridization.
