Abstract

Direct in situ single-copy polymerase chain reaction (DISC-PCR) was used to assign and orient a linkage group to pig chromosome 1. Five microsatellites were analyzed, and all five were successfully localized using this procedure. Physical data were used to orient the linkage group with respect to the centromere and estimate the amount of coverage of chromosome 1. There was excellent concordance between the physical and linkage maps. The linear order of the microsatellites was identical, and relative distances were similar. All markers were located on the long arm of chromosome 1. Coverage was estimated at about 32%. Thus, DISC-PCR rapidly and easily assigned and ordered microsatellite markers for which large genomic clones do not exist.
