Linkage analysis of the murine interferon alpha locus (lfa) on chromosome 4
Institut Curie, Université de Paris-Sud Båt. 110, 91405 Orsay, France
Abstract
We performed linkage analysis of the murine interferon alpha gene cluster, lfa, with three different marker genes on chromosome 4: the major urinary protein locus (Mup-1), the brown locus (b) and the misty locus (m). The gene order (from centromere) with intervening percent recombination derived from a first three-point cross is Mup-113.6 (±3.6)lfa7.9 (±2.8)m and from a second three-point cross Mup-11.7 (±1.7)b3.5 (±2.4)lfa. The combined results indicate that the gene order, from the centromere, is Mup-1blfam.
