Abstract
BACKGROUND Transmission ratio distortion (TRD), defined as statistically significant deviation from expected 1:1 Mendelian ratios of allele inheritance, results in a reduction of the expected progeny of a given genotype. Since TRD is a common occurrence within interspecific crosses, a mouse interspecific backcross was used to genetically map regions showing TRD, and a developmental analysis was performed to identify the timing of allele loss. RESULTS Three independent events of statistically significant deviation from the expected 50:50 Mendelian inheritance ratios were observed in an interspecific backcross between the Mus musculus A/J and the Mus spretus SPRET/EiJ inbred strains. At weaning M. musculus alleles are preferentially inherited on Chromosome (Chr) 7, while M. spretus alleles are preferentially inherited on Chrs 10 and 11. Furthermore, alleles on Chr 3 modify the TRD on Chr 11. All TRD loci detected at weaning were present in Mendelian ratios at mid-gestation and at birth. CONCLUSIONS Given that Mendelian ratios of inheritance are observed for Chr 7, 10 and 11 during development and at birth, the underlying causes for the interspecific TRD events are the differential post-natal survival of pups with specific genotypes. These results are consistent with the TRD mechanism being deviation from Mendelian inheritance rather than meiotic drive or segregation distortion.

Abstract
We established two mouse interspecific backcross DNA panels, one containing 94 N2 animals from the cross (C57BL/6J x Mus spretus)F1 x C57BL/6J, and another from 94 N2 animals from the reciprocal backcross (C57BL/6J x SPRET/Ei)F1 x SPRET/Ei. We prepared large quantities of DNA from most tissues of each animal to create a community resource of interspecific backcross DNA for use by laboratories interested in mapping loci in the mouse. Initial characterization of the genetic maps of both panels has been completed. We used MIT SSLP markers, proviral loci, and several other sequence-defined genes to anchor our maps to other published maps. The BSB panel map (from the backcross to C57BL/6J) contains 215 loci and is anchored by 45 SSLP and 32 gene sequence loci. The BSS panel map (from the backcross to SPRET/Ei) contains 451 loci and is anchored by 49 SSLP loci, 43 proviral loci, and 60 gene sequence loci. To obtain a high density of markers, we used motif-primed PCR to "fingerprint" the panel DNAs. We constructed two maps, each representing one of the two panels. All new loci can be located with a high degree of certainty on the maps at current marker density. Segregation patterns in these data reveal several examples of transmission ratio distortion and permit analysis of the distribution of crossovers on individual chromosomes.

Abstract
Microsatellites are new powerful polymorphic markers used for gene mapping. Their characterization requires that all the sequence surrounding the repeat be known in order to be able to design primers for PCR amplification. However, when using DNA libraries with large cloned inserts, this sequence characterization is not immediately practicable. In this paper, we describe a new strategy, based both on the use of a microsatellite specific probing and on the creation of nested deleted clones with the Exonuclease III, in order to position microsatellites in a range allowing direct sequencing. This method was applied to the screening of a mouse chromosome 19 DNA specific library. In this way, thirteen clones were identified by specific probing and seven were submitted to the nested deletion strategy. Five of them presented microsatellite sequences in specific deleted subclones which were selected and sequenced. Primers were designed for each of them and polymorphism between the genomes of several inbred strain of mouse have been determined. These microsatellites were mapped, three of them to chromosome 19 and two to chromosome 11.

Abstract
Ten single, arbitrarily designed oligodeoxynucleotide primers, with 50-70% (G+C) content, were used to amplify by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) sequences with DNA templates from several mouse species (Mus spretus, Mus musculus musculus, and Mus musculus domesticus), as well as DNA from the laboratory rat (Rattus norvegicus). Eight of these ten primers, used either individually or associated in pairs, generated a total of 13 polymorphic products which were used as genetic markers. All of these polymorphic sequences but one were mapped to a particular mouse chromosome, by use of DNA panels prepared either from interspecific backcross progeny of the type (C57BL/6 x Mus spretus)F1 x C57BL/6 or DNA samples prepared from two sets of recombinant inbred (RI) strains (AKXL and BXD). Six rat-specific DNA segments were also assigned to a particular chromosome with DNA panels prepared from 18 rat/mouse somatic cell hybrids segregating rat chromosomes. From these experiments we conclude that, under precisely standardized PCR conditions, the DNA molecules amplified with these arbitrarily designed primers are useful and reliable markers for genetic mapping in both mouse and rat.

Abstract
We present here the genetic mapping of two novel loci, D16Ros1 and D16Ros2, to mouse Chromosome (Chr) 16. The probes for these loci were genomic fragments isolated from the chakragati mouse, a behavioral mutant resulting from insertional mutagenesis during the course of making transgenic mice. D16Ros1 and D16Ros2 were first mapped by recombinant inbred (RI) strain analysis and subsequently by the analysis of 145 progeny of two interspecific backcrosses between Mus domesticus and Mus spretus. These progeny had been typed for the centromere and this allowed mapping of D16Ros1 and D16Ros2 relative to the centromere. The other markers included in this study were Prm-1, Gap43 and Sod-1. The genetic map generated spanned 47.5 cM from the centromere to Sod-1, the most distal marker mapped here. The linkage data presented here should prove useful in mapping other loci relative to the centromere of Chr 16.

Abstract
We have investigated the phylogenetic distribution of the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in lens epithelial cells (LEC) of various mouse species within the genus Mus. We have shown that lens GFAP is expressed in mice of the Mus musculus complex and in Mus spicilegus and Mus macedonicus species (L.GFAP(+) phenotype) while it is absent in Mus spretus, Mus caroli and Mus cooki species (L.GFAP(-) phenotype). Our results argue in favour of one of the phenograms illustrating the probable phylogenetic relationships between these species in the genus Mus. In animals where lens GFAP was immunodetected, Northern blots of lens RNA extracts hybridized with a mouse GFAP cDNA probe, revealed a single 2.7 kb band. Comparative Northern blot analysis of lens tissue from L.GFAP(+) mice or of brain tissue from L.GFAP(+) or L.GFAP(-) mice did not show any size heterogeneity of the GFAP mRNA. The pattern of the GFAP immunostaining of astroglial cells in brain was identical in both L.GFAP phenotypes. Analysis of interspecific crosses showed that the L.GFAP(+) character is transmitted in a dominant fashion and seems to be linked to the Mus musculus Gfap gene. In this study we have also confirmed the localization of the mouse Gfap gene on chromosome 11.

Abstract
Zinc finger proteins (Zfp) are encoded by a large family of genes present in many organisms including yeast and human. Some of them are transcriptional activators and bind specifically to DNA by zinc mediated folded structures commonly known as zinc fingers. The Drosophila Krüppel (Kr) is a segmentation gene and encodes a zinc finger protein. Using a probe from the finger domain of Kr, we have isolated a structurally related gene Zfp-1 from the mouse. In this paper, we report the complete nucleotide sequence of two cDNA clones and the amino acid sequence deduced from them. The putative Zfp-1 protein contains in addition to 7 zinc fingers, two helix-turn-helix motifs. During murine embryogenesis, the Zfp-1 was found to express at a peak level in day 12 embryos. The ubiquitously expressed Zfp-1 gene is located in the 16q region on mouse chromosome 8, between the uvomorulin and the tyrosine amino transferase genes.

Abstract
DNA from a panel of inbred strains of mice and colony bred mice, isolated from different geographical locations, was hybridized to mouse V preB and lambda 5 probes under stringent conditions, indicating sequence similarities greater than 80%. The probe for lambda 5 detects one gene and the probe for V preB detects two genes (V preB1 and V preB2) in the inbred strains of mice examined under the stringency used. No restriction endonuclease fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) were detected with the V preB and lambda 5 DNA probes among the inbred strains of mice using Bam HI and Hind III. Very few RFLP were detected among Mus musculus subspecies, and the intensity of the hybridization did not differ significantly with either DNA probe. The number of RFLP increased slightly when different species and subgenera were examined, and the intensity of the hybridization signal began to decrease in samples from the different subgenera, suggesting a slight decrease in sequence similarity for both V preB genes with increased time of divergence. Fewer RFLP were detected with the lambda 5 DNA probe. DNA from 11 different Mus species representing 4 subgenera, genetically isolated from laboratory mice for approximately 1-12 million years, continued to hybridize under high stringency conditions using both DNA probes. A comigrating lambda 5 and V preB restriction endonuclease fragment was detected in most of the samples examined, suggesting the close physical linkage of V preB1 and lambda 5 is maintained within the genus Mus. These results suggest that V preB1, V preB2 and lambda 5 have been present for over 12 million years.

Abstract
The gene coding for the mouse cell adhesion molecule uvomorulin has been mapped to chromosome 8. Uvomorulin cDNA clone F5H3 identified restriction fragment length polymorphisms in Southern blots of genomic DNA from mouse species Mus musculus domesticus and Mus spretus. By analyzing the segregation pattern of the gene in 75 offspring from an interspecific backcross a single genetic locus, Um, was defined on chromosome 8. Recombination frequency between Um and the co-segregating loci serum esterase 1 (Es-1) and tyrosine aminotransferase (Tat) places Um about 14 centimorgan (cM) distal to Es-1, and 5 cM proximal to Tat. In situ hybridization of uvomorulin [3H]cDNA to mouse metaphase chromosomes located the Um locus close to the distal end of chromosome 8 (bands C3-E1). Since uvomorulin is evolutionarily highly conserved, its chromosomal assignment adds an important marker to the mouse genetic map.

Abstract
1. Isoelectric focusing in polyacrylamide gels identified three erythrocytic electrophoretic patterns of purine nucleoside phosphorylase in a survey of 16 mouse strains. 2. Three strain-specific electrophoretic types were also evident in liver, kidney and spleen leukocytes. 3. There are 3-fold differences in purine nucleoside phosphorylase activities between strains for several tissues; C57BL/6J and Mus spretus having the greatest and the least activity, respectively. 4. Within strains there were up to 8-fold tissue-specific differences in activity with the order from greatest to least being: liver, kidney, spleen leukocyte, erythrocyte, heart.
