An interspecific linkage map of mouse chromosome 15 positioned with respect to the centromere.

We have used an interspecific backcross between C57BL/6J and Mus spretus to derive a molecular genetic linkage map of chromosome 15 that includes 25 molecular markers and spans 93% of the estimated length of chromosome 15. Using a second interspecific backcross that was analyzed with a centromere-specific marker, we were also able to position our map with respect to the chromosome 15 centromere. This map provides molecular access to many discrete regions on chromosome 15, thus providing a framework for establishing relationships between cloned DNA markers and known mouse mutations and for identifying homologous genes in mice and humans that may be involved in disease.

A molecular marker-based linkage map of Phaseolus vulgaris L.

A seed and flower color marker (P), nine seed protein, nine isozyme and 224 restriction fragment length polymorphism marker loci were used to construct a linkage map of the common bean, Phaseolus vulgaris L. (n = 11). The mapping population consisted of a backcross progeny between the Mesoamerican breeding line 'XR-235-1-1' and the Andean cultivar 'Calima'; the former was used as the recurrent parent. A bean PstI genomic library enriched for single copy sequences (95%) was the source of DNA probes. Sixty percent of the probes tested detected polymorphisms between the parental genotypes with at least one of the four restriction enzymes used here (DraI, EcoRI, EcoRV and HindIII). The computer software Mapmaker was used to determine the linkage relationships and linear order of segregating markers. These markers assorted into 11 linkage groups covering 960 cM of the bean genome. Partial linkage data were used to estimate the total length of the genome at 1200 cM. This estimate and that for the physical size of the genome yield an average ratio of 530 kb/cM. The relatively small size of the genome makes this crop species a good candidate for the isolation of genes via chromosome walking techniques.

Location of the Aspartase Gene (aspA) on the linkage map of Escherichia coli K12.

The aspartase (L-asparatate ammonia-lyase, EC. 4.3.I.I) structural gene, aspA, was mapped by two-factor and three-factor transductional crosses using phage PI. Cotransduction frequencies between aspA and other markers were: ampA (69%); frdA (48 TO 67%) mel (35%); purA (17%); fdp (I-6%). The sequence of markers within the corresponding segment (91 to 95 min) of the Escherichia coli linkage map was shown to be mel-aspA-ampA-frdA-purA-fdp.

Genetic circularity of the Proteus mirabilis linkage map.

The T incompatibility group plasmid R394 can mobilize the chromosome of Proteus mirabilis strain PM5006. It transferred relatively large segments, corresponding to at least 20 min on the D plasmid chromosomal map of the organism. The frequency of recombination for a large number of selected markers was nearly constant at 5 X 10(-6) per donor cell and it is concluded that mobilization takes place from a number of chromosomal sites. All recombinants were R+ and displayed all properties of the plasmid. By analysing crosses for co-inheritance frequencies of unselected markers, a number of chromosomal loci were assembled in linear array. Linkage between markers at the ends of this linkage group was established to markers at the respective termini of the existing D plasmid linkage group. This established a composite circular linkage map of genes of the P. mirabilis strain PM5006 chromosome.

Temperature-sensitive mutants of herpes simplex virus type 2: a provisional linkage map based on recombination analysis.

Thirteen ts mutants of type 2 herpes simplex virus were backcrossed to a syncytial but not temperature-sensitive mutant of wild-type virus. This was an attempt to introduce a third marker, syncytial plaque morphology or syn, into at least some of the ts mutants. Three ts mutants carrying the syn marker were obtained but only one, ts 9, was satisfactory for genetic experiments. Three-factor crosses were carried out between ts 9 syn and the mutants which determined the order of eleven ts mutations relative to both the ts 9 mutation and the syn mutation. A provisional linkage map based both on the order derived from the three-factor crosses and on map distances from recombination frequencies has been prepared: it contains nine ts mutations and the syn mutation.

Detection of a polymorphism within the pepsinogen C gene with PCR: construction of a linkage map around PGC from 6p11-6p21.3.

An insertion/deletion polymorphism between exons 7 and 8 of the pepsinogen C gene (PGC), previously detectable with Southern analysis, was formatted for detection with PCR. Alleles were rapidly typed by UV irradiation of ethidium bromide-stained agarose gels. Whereas Southern analysis revealed two alleles, the smaller fragments generated with PCR allowed the resolution of three alleles that were previously scored as a single allele and increased the heterozygosity of the system from 0.20 to 0.53. After a set of reference families was genotyped with the PCR-based polymorphism, a linkage map around the PGC gene on chromosome 6 was constructed. This included the HLA cluster and the highly informative D6S223 locus. PGC lies 22 cM proximal to HLA-DPB and between D6S5 and D6S4 at distances of 4.5 and 13.1 cM, respectively.

Linkage mapping of the AML1 gene on human chromosome 21 using a DNA polymorphism in the 3' untranslated region.

We have detected a polymorphism in the 3' untranslated region of the AML1 gene, which is located at the breakpoint on chromosome 21 in the t(8;21)(q22;q22.3) translocation often associated with patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Informative CEPH families were genotyped for this polymorphism and used to localize the gene on the linkage map of human chromosome 21. The AML1 gene is located between the markers D21S216 and D21S211, in chromosomal band 21q22.3.

Linkage mapping of human chromosome 10 microsatellite polymorphisms.

Ten microsatellite DNA polymorphisms located on human chromosome 10 were regionally mapped using subchromosomal somatic cell hybrids and linkage analysis. The resulting order of the markers from pter-qter was [D10S89, D10S111], D10S107, D10S109, [D10S91, D10S110, D10S108, D10S88, D10S168], and D10S169. Order of the markers within brackets was uncertain, although the order given was most likely. The microsatellites were distributed along the chromosome from the proximal p arm to near qter, with an unlinked gap between D10S168 and D10S169.

Multipoint linkage mapping of the Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy gene.

The clinical features to establish the diagnosis of X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EMD) were recently redefined at the European EMD workshop in Baarn 1991. These criteria were used to select families from the literature and two new families for linkage analysis with the DNA markers F9, DX52, DXS15, F8C and DXS115. Recombinations are observed with the DNA markers F9, DXS52 and DXS15. No recombinations were found with F8C and DXS115. Multipoint linkage analysis indicates with a maximum location score of 73.9 that the EMD locus maps very close to F8C.

A multipoint genetic linkage map of mouse chromosome 18.

We have mapped 13 loci on mouse Chromosome 18 by Southern blot analysis of restriction fragment length polymorphisms among progeny from an interspecific backcross: (C57BL/6J X Mus spretus) X M. spretus. Complete haplotype analysis of 136 of these progeny was used to establish gene order and estimate genetic distances between loci. The gene order (from centromere to telomere) and recombination distances (in centimorgans) were as follows: PGK-1rs5-4.3-Tpi-10-11.8-(Egr-1, Hmg17-rs9)-2.1-Fgfa-2.2-Grl-1-10.1-(Cdx-1, Csfmr, Pdgfrb, Pdea, Rps14)-2.1-Adrb-2-22.9-Mbp. Pgk-1rs5, Tpi-10, Hmg17-rs9, and Rps14 had not been previously mapped in the mouse; Egr-1 had only been syntenically assigned to mouse Chr 18. Nine of the loci, spanning 18 cM, have homologs on the distal long arm of human Chr5--a region rich in genes encoding growth factors and receptors. An additional previously unmapped gene, Drd-1, predicted to be on mouse Chr 18 based on its human chromosomal location, was mapped to the middle region of mouse Chr 13.

The root-knot nematode resistance gene (Mi) in tomato: construction of a molecular linkage map and identification of dominant cDNA markers in resistant genotypes.

A dominant allele at the Mi locus on chromosome 6 of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill) confers resistance to three species of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne). The resistance, which is associated with a localized necrotic response, was originally introduced into tomato from the wild species Lycopersicon peruvianum. As a step towards the molecular cloning of Mi, we have identified closely linked DNA markers from both cDNA and genomic DNA libraries as restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). DNA from tomato populations segregating for nematode resistance was analyzed to generate a high-resolution genetic map of this region. Additional information on gene order was obtained by comparing the size of the introgressed L. peruvianum chromosomal segment within a collection of nematode-resistant tomato lines. Among the four cDNA markers that are tightly linked to Mi, three are dominant, i.e. L. peruvianum-specific. One cDNA marker corresponds to a gene family comprising 20-30 members, one of which is diagnostic for all nematode-resistant genotypes tested. The presence of non-homologous sequences around the Mi gene may contribute to the suppression of recombination in this region of the genome in crosses heterozygous for Mi. The potential of 'walking' from closely linked markers to Mi is discussed.
