title: Improved linkage map and thirty new microsatellite markers for rat Chromosome 10.
abstract: An improved linkage map for rat Chromosome (Chr) 10 with two F2 populations was constructed. Thirty new microsatellite markers were generated from a Chr 10-specific, small-insert genomic library and mapped to rat Chr 10. Among them were the rat homologs for the mouse gene for light and heavy chains of myeloperoxidase and human neurofibromatosis 1. Eight newly generated markers (D10Mco62, D10Mco63, D10Mco64, D10Mco65, D10Mco67, D10Mco68, D10Mco70, and D10Mco74) were mapped to the region of the rat Chr 10 blood pressure QTL. The availability of such markers may be instrumental in the search for genes responsible for the hypertension.
