title: Somatic cell mapping of omega and trophoblast interferon genes to bovine syntenic group U18 and in situ localization to chromosome 8.
abstract: Bovine omega (IFNW) and trophoblast (IFNT) interferon genes were assigned to bovine syntenic group U18 by somatic cell genetics. Fluorescent in situ hybridization subsequently localized these genes to bovine chromosome 8 band 15. This assignment conflicts with a previous assignment of U17 genes to the same chromosome.
