Assignment of 128 genes localized on human chromosome 14q to the IMpRH map.
To provide a gene-based comparative map and to examine a porcine genome assembly using bacterial artificial chromosome-based sequence, we have attempted to assign 128 genes localized on human chromosome 14q (HSA14q) to a porcine 7000-rad radiation hybrid (IMpRH) map. This study, together with earlier studies, has demonstrated the following. (i) 126 genes were incorporated into two SSC7 RH linkage groups by CarthaGene analysis. (ii) In the remaining two genes, TOX4 linked to TCRA located in SSC7 by two-point analysis, whereas SIP1 showed no significant linkage with any gene/marker registered in the IMpRH Web Server. (iii) In the two groups, the gene clusters located from 19.9 to 36.5 Mb on HSA14q11.2-q13.3 and from 64.0 to 104.3 Mb on HSA14q23-q32.33 respectively were assigned to SSC7q21-q26. (iv) Comparison of the gene order between the present RH map and the latest porcine sequence assembly revealed some inconsistencies, and a redundant arrangement of 16 genes in the sequence assembly.
