Abstract
The European Collaborative Interspecific Backcross (EUCIB) resource was constructed for the purposes of high-resolution genetic mapping of the mouse genome (). The large Mus spretus/C57BL/6 backcross of 982 progeny has a genetic resolution of 0.3 cM at the 95% confidence level ( approximately 500 kb in the mouse genome). We have used the EUCIB mapping resource to develop a genome-wide high-resolution genetic map incorporating 3368 microsatellites. The microsatellites are distributed among 2302 genetically separated bins with 1.46 markers per bin on average. Average bin separation is 0.61 cM. This high-resolution genetic map will aid the construction of a robust physical map of the mouse genome.

Abstract
The H2-M region is the most distal part of the mouse major histocompatibility complex (Mhc) and is likely to include the distal breakpoint of the fourth t-inversion, In(17)4d. The conserved synteny breakpoint between mouse and human is located in the H2-M region between D17Leh89, a putative olfactory receptor gene, and Pgk2 (phosphoglycerate kinase 2). To analyze the H2-M region, we screened a mouse bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library, using the D17Mit64, D17Tu49, D17Leh89, D17Leh467, and Pgk2 markers. Thirty-eight BAC clones were obtained and mapped in five clusters, and 25 sequence-tagged site (STS) markers were newly developed. The regions surrounding D17Tu49 and D17Leh467 are abundant in L1 repeat sequences and may, therefore, be candidates for the breakpoints of conserved synteny and t-inversion. D17Leh89 was linked to D17Mit64 by two contiguous BAC clones. The Aeg1 (acidic epididymal glycoprotein 1) and Aeg2 genes were mapped close to Pgk2, on the same BAC clones. The genetic length between D17Leh89-D17Mit64 and Pgk2-Aeg can be estimated as 0.5-0.7 centiMorgan (cM), and the most distal class I gene, H2-M2, can be placed 0.3-1.0 cM proximal to the t-inversion breakpoint. A recombinational hotspot is suggested to be located between Aeg and Tpxl in an interspecific cross of (C57BL/6J x Mus spretus).

Abstract
The Hybrid sterility 1 (Hst1) gene causes male infertility in crosses between certain inbred strains of the laboratory and wild mouse, Mus musculus. To identify the causative gene, we have searched YAC clones encompassing the Hst1 region for testis-expressed sequences, using the cDNA selection method. We isolated 12 non-overlapping cDNA clones, sequenced them, and placed them on a physical map based on the analysis of YAC clones and total genomic DNA. The cDNA clones map to ten loci. Three cDNA sequences correspond to the proteasome subunit C5 (locus Psmb1), ornithine decarboxylase (Odc-rs15), and penta-zinc finger (Zfp91-rs1) transcripts. Three of the ten testis-expressed loci described in this report (D17Ph4e, Psmb1, and Zfp91-rs1) co-segregate with all Hst1 recombinants and, together with the Tbp gene, are therefore potential candidates for the Hst1 gene. The presented physical and genetic mapping data indicate there are no gross rearrangements distinguishing the Hst1(f) and Hst1(s) alleles.

Abstract
We have generated a high-resolution genetic map, 0.071 cM per backcross animal, of the 13 cM T-H2 region of the mouse Chromosome (Chr) 17. The map contains two phenotypic loci, T and Hst1, 12 RFLP markers, and 24 microsatellite loci. The Hst1 gene was mapped to a chromosomal interval contained within a single 580-kb YAC clone. The FFEH11 YAC is 0.44 cM long and carries, besides the Hst1 gene, five polymorphic DNA markers and recombination breakpoints of six backcross animals. Two candidate genes for Hst1 were identified based on their location and testicular expression. These are Tbp and D17Ph4e. The submilliMorgan map of the T-H2 region revealed significant clustering of (CA)n loci. The clustering, if shown to be a common feature in the mouse genome, may cause gaps in the physical map of the mouse genome.

Abstract
Myodystrophy (myd), an autosomal recessive mutation of the mouse characterized by progressive weakness and dystrophic muscle histology, maps to the central portion of Chromosome (Chr) 8 (Lane et al. J. Hered 67, 135, 1976). This portion of Chr 8 contains the genes for a mitochondrial uncoupling protein (Ucp) and kallikrein (Kal3), which map to distal 4q in the human, providing evidence for a segment of homology. Characteristics of the myd phenotype coupled with this homology suggest that myd may be a mouse homolog of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), which maps to human 4q35. We have confirmed and expanded the region of mouse 8-human 4 homology by generating a map of Chr 8 in an interspecific backcross of C57BL/6J and a partially inbred strain derived from M. spretus. The map is comprised of the genes for Ucp, coagulation factor XI (Cfl1), and chloride channel 5 (Clc5), all of which have homologs on distal human 4q, 15 microsatellite loci, and the membrane cofactor protein pseudogene (Mcp-ps). To place myd in the genetic map, 75 affected progeny from an intersubspecific backcross of animals heterozygous for myd with Mus musculus castaneus were genotyped with Chr 8 microsatellite loci. The mutation maps between D8Mit30 and D8Mit75, an interval that is flanked by genes with human homologs at distal 4q. These results are consistent with the possibility that myd is the mouse homolog of FSHD.

Abstract
To enhance the comparative map for human Chromosome (Chr) 13, we identified clones for human genes and anonymous loci that cross-hybridized with their mouse homologs and then used linkage crosses for mapping. Of the clones for four genes and twelve anonymous loci tested, cross-hybridization was found for six, COL4A1, COL4A2, D13S26, D13S35, F10, and PCCA. Strong evidence for homology was found for COL4A1, COL4A2, D13S26, D13S35, and F10, but only circumstantial homology evidence was obtained for PCCA. To genetically map these mouse homologs (Cf10, Col4a1, Col4a2, D14H13S26, D8H13S35, and Pcca-rs), we used interspecific and intersubspecific mapping panels. D14H13S26 and Pcca-rs were located on the distal portion of mouse Chr 14 extending by approximately 30 cM the conserved linkage between human Chr 13 and mouse Chr 14, assuming that Pcca-rs is the mouse homolog of PCCA. By contrast, Cf10, Col4a1, Col4a2, and D8H13S35 mapped near the centromere of mouse Chr 8, defining a new conserved linkage. Finally, we identified either a closely linked sequence related to Col4a2, or a recombination hot-spot between Col4a1 and Col4a2 that has been conserved in humans and mice.

Abstract
Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein-1s are important modulators of the insulin-like growth factors that may have both positive and negative effects on the ability of insulin-like growth factors to stimulate cell growth. The IGFBP-1 gene is one of the most highly induced immediate-early genes after partial hepatectomy. The IGFBP-1 gene is also expressed at a high level during fetal liver development and in response to nutritional changes and diabetes. Therefore it may have important roles in liver growth and metabolism. To begin to examine the regulation of this gene, we cloned and sequenced the entire mouse IGFBP-1 gene. Its structure is highly similar to that of the human gene, and, in addition to the exonic regions, the two genes are highly conserved in specific regions in the promoter and first intron. Analysis of this conservation allows us to predict important regulatory sites that define the tissue specific and insulin-mediated regulation of the gene and identify potential sites that might be important for the transcriptional induction during liver regeneration. The mouse gene is located on mouse chromosome 11; it is found at the boundary between regions in the mouse genome homologous to human chromosomes 22 and 7. We found IGFBP-1 mRNA in both parenchymal and nonparenchymal RNA after partial hepatectomy. Using in situ hybridization of IGFBP-1 mRNA in regenerating rat liver tissue, we demonstrated IGFBP-1 transcripts in several cell types. We found that IGFBP-1 gene induction after partial hepatectomy is paralleled by protein expression.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We have isolated two mouse genes, Mox-1 and Mox-2 that, by sequence, genomic structure and expression pattern, define a novel homeobox gene family probably involved in mesodermal regionalization and somitic differentiation. Mox-1 is genetically linked to the keratin and Hox-2 genes of chromosome 11, while Mox-2 maps to chromosome 12. At primitive streak stages (approximately 7.0 days post coitum), Mox-1 is expressed in mesoderm lying posterior of the future primordial head and heart. It is not expressed in neural tissue, ectoderm, or endoderm. Mox-1 expression may therefore define an extensive ‘posterior’ domain of embryonic mesoderm before, or at the earliest stages of, patterning of the mesoderm and neuroectoderm by the Hox cluster genes. Between 7.5 and 9.5 days post coitum, Mox-1 is expressed in presomitic mesoderm, epithelial and differentiating somites (dermatome, myotome and sclerotome) and in lateral plate mesoderm. In the body of midgestation embryos, Mox-1 signal is restricted to loose undifferentiated mesenchyme. Mox-1 signal is also prominent over the mesenchyme of the heart cushions and truncus arteriosus, which arises from epithelial-mesenchymal transformation and over a limited number of craniofacial foci of neural crest-derived mesenchyme that are associated with muscle attachment sites. The expression profile of Mox-2 is similar to, but different from, that of Mox-1. For example, Mox-2 is apparently not expressed before somites form, is then expressed over the entire epithelial somite, but during somitic differentiation, Mox-2 signal rapidly becomes restricted to sclerotomal derivatives. The expression patterns of these genes suggest regulatory roles for Mox-1 and Mox-2 in the initial anterior-posterior regionalization of vertebrate embryonic mesoderm and, in addition, in somite specification and differentiation.

Abstract
Recombinant congenic strains (RCS) represent a series of related strains, each of which carries a small fraction of the genome of one strain ("donor" strain) on the genetic background of another strain ("background" strain). Recombinant inbred strains (RIS) are commonly used to identify major gene segregation and linkage and associations between behavior and quantitative trait loci, whereas recombinant congenic strains (RCS) open other complementary leads. The variability in the reactivity of RCS to a trait is thus the expression of few minor-effect genes originating from the donor strain, because the probability that major genes are present in any one RCS is low. Unlike RIS in which minor-effect genes are often masked by major genes, RCS enable the effects of minor genes to be studied. With our method, for a given trait, an estimate can be made of the gene strength distribution as well as an estimate of the minimal number of genes involved having a certain strength.

Abstract
To isolate DNA markers from mouse chromosome 17, a genomic phage library was constructed from the mouse-hamster CMGT cell hybrid RcE-B52. This hybrid contains a chromosomal fragment from the distal end/flanking region of the t complex on mouse chromosome 17. Recombinants of mouse origin were identified by using a panel of mouse-specific repetitive sequences as a probe. A total of 1,500 mouse phage recombinants were isolated. These were found to represent 250-300 individual recombinants, comprising about 4 Mbp of cloned mouse DNA. The pooled mouse recombinant phages were used to construct an Eag I end-library. This was achieved by the specific insertion of a marker plasmid in Eag I recognition sites when present in the mouse inserts of the recombinant phages. The Eag I end-fragments were subsequently subcloned using a simple procedure taking advantage of the inserted plasmid. A total of 56 individual Eag I end-fragments were identified. These were found to contain recognition sites for rare cutting enzymes at high frequency. A large proportion (73%) were found to be evolutionarily conserved in human DNA. Furthermore, a significant fraction of these fragments, two of six tested, appears to detect specific cDNAs in a 8.5-day mouse embryo cDNA library.

Abstract
We describe a general method of determining the recombination fraction between a polymorphic locus and the centromere in any species where single oocytes can be obtained. After removal of the first polar body, each oocyte is analyzed by PCR. The frequency of oocytes heterozygous at the polymorphic locus is used to estimate the recombination fraction. We estimate a recombination fraction of 0.15 between the mouse major histocompatibility complex (H-2) and the centromere of chromosome 17.

Abstract
The mouse homolog of the human proto-oncogene MAS was mapped by two interspecific backcrosses to the proximal portion of MMU17. Higher resolution mapping was accomplished through the analysis of genotypes duplicated or deleted for a megabase-size subregion within MMU17. The results demonstrate a map position for Mas in the close vicinity of Igf2r, which encodes another membrane receptor known to undergo genomic imprinting. The data provide further evidence for the clustering of genes in a 1-Mb region of chromosome 17, with the absence of any identified genes in a nearby region likely to be six times larger.

Abstract
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD1) is linked to the alpha-globin locus near the telomere of chromosome 16p. We established the existence of a conserved linkage group in mouse by mapping conserved sequences and cDNAs from the region surrounding the PKD1 gene in the mouse genome. Results obtained with the BXD recombinant strain system and somatic cell hybrids show the homologous region to be located on mouse chromosome 17 near the globin pseudogene Hba-ps4, an unprocessed alpha-like globin gene. The markers we mapped are widely distributed over the region known to contain the PKD1 gene, and it is therefore likely that the mouse homologue of PKD1 is also located on mouse chromosome 17.

Abstract
The retinal degeneration mouse (gene symbol, rd) is an animal model for certain forms of human hereditary retinopathies. Recent findings of a nonsense mutation in the rd mouse PDE beta-subunit gene (Pdeb) prompted us to investigate the chromosome locations of the mouse and human genes. We have utilized backcross analysis in mice to verify and define more precisely the location of the Pdeb locus 6.1 +/- 2.3 cM distal of Mgsa on mouse chromosome 5. We have determined that the human gene (PDEB) maps to 4p16.3, very close to the Huntington disease (HD) region. Analysis of the comparative map for mice and humans shows that the mouse homologue of the HD gene will reside on chromosome 5. Linkage of the mouse Pdeb locus with other homologues in the human 4p16.3 region is maintained but gene order is not, suggesting at least three possible sites for the corresponding mouse HD gene.

Abstract
HMG-I and its isoform HMG-Y are members of the abundant high-mobility-group of nonhistone chromatin proteins; they bind to A + T-rich regions of chromosomal DNA and are expressed at high levels in rapidly dividing, undifferentiated mammalian cells. HMG-I and HMG-Y are alternatively spliced products of a single functional gene, designated Hmgi in the mouse. Here, we report the occurrence of at least three distinct Hmgi-related loci in the mouse. Only one of these loci was present in all of the 10 mouse strains examined; therefore, this locus most likely represents the transcriptionally active, functional gene, Hmgi. Genetic linkage analysis of interspecific and intersubspecific backcrosses showed that Hmgi is located in the t-complex region of mouse Chromosome 17. Two additional Hmgi-related sequences, Hmgi-rs1 and Hmgi-rs2, were found only in certain mouse strains and probably represent pseudogenes. Hmgi-rs1 is located on Chromosome 11; it was present in all of the standard laboratory inbred mouse strains examined but was absent in wild-derived inbred strains of Mus spretus, M. musculus castaneus, and M. m. molossinus. Hmgi-rs2 was found only in M. m. castaneus and is located on Chromosome 6. Hmgi genes have not been previously mapped in any species, but the location of the probable functional gene on murine Chromosome 17 suggests that the homologous gene in humans is located on Chromosome 6.

Abstract
The rat provides a number of important models of human genetic disease; however, the rat genetic map has not been extensively developed. Although most rat chromosomes carry several gene assignments, some major linkage groups (LG) remain to be mapped. To determine the chromosome location of the largest unmapped linkage group in the rat (LG V containing multiple carboxylesterase loci), we used single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis to identify the rat esterase-10 gene in a panel of rat x mouse somatic cell hybrids. We found that the carboxylesterase gene family and hence LG V are located on rat chromosome 19. We have also confirmed the assignment of the angiotensinogen gene to rat chromosome 19 and have used a large set of recombinant inbred strains to map two anonymous variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) markers to this chromosome. The current findings bring the total number of genes assigned to rat chromosome 19 from 3 to 19 and provide further evidence of substantial homology between this chromosome and chromosome 8 in the mouse.

Abstract
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based on single primers of arbitrary nucleotide sequence provides a powerful marker system for genome analysis because each primer amplifies multiple products, and cloning, sequencing, and hybridization are not required. We have evaluated this typing system for the mouse by identifying optimal PCR conditions; characterizing effects of GC content, primer length, and multiplexed primers; demonstrating considerable variation among a panel of inbred strains; and establishing linkage for several products. Mg2+, primer, template, and annealing conditions were identified that optimized the number and resolution of amplified products. Primers with 40% GC content failed to amplify products readily, primers with 50% GC content resulted in reasonable amplification, and primers with 60% GC content gave the largest number of well-resolved products. Longer primers did not necessarily amplify more products than shorter primers of the same proportional GC content. Multiplexed primers yielded more products than either primer alone and usually revealed novel variants. A strain survey showed that most strains could be readily distinguished with a modest number of primers. Finally, linkage for seven products was established on five chromosomes. These characteristics establish single primer PCR as a powerful method for mouse genome analysis.

Abstract
Retinoic acid is essential for normal development and growth of structures such as head and limbs, and it can act as morphogen or teratogen. Retinoic acid induces expression of genes such as the homeobox genes and keratin type I and type II genes. Retinoic acid receptors are nuclear transcription factors that play a key role in retinoid physiology. As part of the characterization of retinoic acid receptor gene family, linkage of genes encoding the three receptors was determined by using interspecific backcross and recombinant inbred strain analysis of restriction fragment variants. Retinoic acid receptor alpha is located on mouse Chromosome (Chr) 11 near the homeobox-2 complex and the keratin type I gene complex, whereas retinoic acid receptor gamma is on mouse Chr 15 near the homeobox-3 complex and the keratin type II complex. Close genetic proximity of these functionally related genes may be significant. We confirmed assignment of retinoic acid receptor beta to the centromeric portion of Chr 14. These linkage assignments provide further evidence for duplicated segments in the mouse genome.

Abstract
alpha-L-iduronidase (IDUA), which when deficient causes mucopolysaccharidosis type I, is located near the Huntington disease locus (HD) on human Chromosome (Chr) 4p16.3, approximately 10(6) base pairs (bp) from the telomere. As part of our continuing efforts to define a detailed comparative map for this chromosomal segment in mice and humans, we have used an interspecific backcross between C57BL/6J and an inbred strain derived from Mus spretus to map Idua, the mouse homolog of IDUA. We also mapped the mouse homolog of D4S115, an anonymous locus approximately 250 kb proximal to IDUA. As expected, both Idua and D4S115h are located on the proximal portion of mouse Chr 5 near homologs for other loci on human Chr 4p. Comparison of gene order in mice and humans demonstrates, however, that a chromosomal rearrangement within this conserved synteny has occurred since divergence of lineages leading to mice and humans.

Abstract
We report that a number of related zinc finger protein genes are closely linked on mouse chromosome 17. At least four of these genes are transcribed in the 8.5-day postcoitum embryo and are deleted in the t complex early acting embryonic lethal mutation tw18. We have evidence that additional finger protein genes are located in this region. These findings demonstrate that related finger protein genes can be clustered in the murine genome and identify genes that may be considered as candidates for the tw18 mutation.

Abstract
We have generated a moderate resolution genetic map of mouse chromosomes 4 and 6 utilizing a (C57BL/6J x Mus spretus) F1 x Mus spretus backcross with RFLPs for 31 probes. The map for chromosome 4 covers 77 cM and details a large region of homology to human chromosome 1p. The map establishes the breakpoints in the mouse 4-human 1p region of homology to a 2-cM interval between Ifa and Jun in mouse and to the interval between JUN and ACADM in human. The map for mouse chromosome 6 spans a 65-cM region and contains a large region of homology to human 7q. These maps also provide chromosomal assignment and order for a number of previously unmapped probes. The maps should allow the rapid regional assignment of new markers to mouse chromosomes 4 and 6. In addition, knowledge of the gene order in mouse may prove useful in determining the gene order of the homologous regions in human.
