We screened a porcine bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) and a P1 derived artificial chromosome (PAC) library to construct a sequence-ready approximately 1.2-Mb BAC/PAC contig of the ryanodine receptor-1 gene (RYR1) region on porcine chromosome (SSC) 6q1.2. This genomic segment is of special interest because it harbors the locus for stress susceptibility in pigs and a putative quantitative trait locus for muscle growth. Detailed physical mapping of this gene-rich region allowed us to assign to this contig 17 porcine genes orthologous to known human chromosome 19 genes. Apart from the relatively well-characterized porcine gene RYR1, the other 16 genes represent novel chromosomal assignments and 14 genes have been cloned for the first time in pig. Comparative analysis of the porcine BAC/PAC contig with the human chromosome (HSA) 19q13.13 map revealed a completely conserved gene order of this segment between pig and human. A detailed porcine-human-mouse comparative map of this region was constructed.

Rice blast disease caused by Magnaporthe grisea is a continuous threat to stable rice production worldwide. In a modernized agricultural system, the development of varieties with broad-spectrum and durable resistance to blast disease is essential for increased rice production and sustainability. In this study, a new gene is identified in the introgression line IR65482-4-136-2-2 that has inherited the resistance gene from an EE genome wild Oryza species, O.

The gene for agouti signaling protein (ASIP) is centrally involved in the expression of coat color traits in animals. The Mangalitza pig breed is characterized by a black-and-tan phenotype with black dorsal pigmentation and yellow or white ventral pigmentation. We investigated a Mangalitza x Piétrain cross and observed a coat color segregation pattern in the F2 generation that can be explained by virtue of two alleles at the MC1R locus and two alleles at the ASIP locus.

The developments of molecular marker-based genetic linkage maps are now routine. Physical maps based on contigs of large insert genomic clones have been established in several plant species. However, integration of genetic, physical, and cytological maps is still a challenge for most plant species.

A fine physical map of the rice (Oryza sativa spp. Japonica var. Nipponbare) chromosome 5 with bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) and PI-derived artificial chromosome (PAC) clones was constructed through integration of 280 sequenced BAC/PAC clones and 232 sequence tagged site/expressed sequence tag markers with the use of fingerprinted contig data of the Nipponbare genome.

Frequent genetic aberrations of malignant schwannomas induced by the alkylating agent N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea in hybrids from inbred BD rat strains include allelic imbalances of the telomeric 20 Mb of chromosome 5 (Dis-2) and of the telomeric 5 Mb of chromosome 10q32 (Dis-1) in 59 and 94% of the tumors, respectively. The Dis-1 minimal loss of heterozygosity consensus region extends from D10Rat4 to the telomere and harbors a putative tumor suppressor gene(s). We constructed a 6-Mb BAC/PAC contig containing more than 70 known genes, 18 mapped microsatellites, and further ESTs/reference RNAs.
