[The distribution of 4 genes (alpha GAL, PGK-1, HPRT and G6PD) on the X chromosome of the American mink (Mustela vison)]
Abstract
The segregation of X-linked markers (alpha GAL, PGK-1, HPRT and G6PD) was analysed in hybrids between gamma ray-irradiated mink fibroblasts and Chinese hamster cells, or between mink cells and mouse hepatoma cells. Based on the segregation data and the data of cytogenetics analysis of a few hybrids, the order of the mink genes was deduced as alpha GAL--PGK-1--HPRT--G6PD--qter. This order differs from that reported for human and murine genes, in spite of the very obvious similarity between G-banding of the mink and human X chromosomes. Therefore, at least one reversion is responsible for the differences observed for the human and mink X chromosomes.
