title: A radiation hybrid map of mouse chromosome 13.
abstract: A mouse radiation hybrid (RH) panel was used to make a framework map for the entire length of mouse chromosome (Chr) 13. Forty-one loci were typed, and while most used primers flanking simple sequence repeats, some genes were included. The most proximal and distal loci are D13Mit132 and D13Mit35. The estimate of map length for Chr 13 is 1328 cR. The map is compared with the same set of loci from the consensus map for Chr 13, which is 70 cM in length, and also with a recombinational map derived from an intraspecies cross typed for many of the same loci. The mouse RH panel gave good resolution for Chr 13 and at the distal end allowed separation of previously nonrecombinant markers that are present on a single 620-kb YAC clone. Data analysis was performed using the RH option for Map Manager QT. This framework RH map of Chr 13 is the second of a series of RH maps for mouse chromosomes.
