For identification of ECS (``evolutionarily conserved segments') between rat and mouse, 893 rat–mouse orthologous gene-pairs
were brought together with zoo-FISH analysis. In total, 59 autosomal ECS and 4 X-chromosomal ones were detected. Combining
FISH and zoo-FISH data, the segments were anchored on the rat chromosomes, providing an improved comparative map between the
two species. Since chromosomal evolution is a slow process, it is reasonable to assume that the genome organization, including
gene order, is essentially conserved within the ECS. In this way we assigned tentative subchromosomal map positions to 303
rat genes, for which no regional mapping information was available. Furthermore, the concept of prediction mapping was extended
to unmapped rat homologs of genes, which in the mouse are situated inside or in the vicinity of an ECS. For a total of 6669
genes, we predicted a single rat chromosomal position, whereas for another 448 genes we could predict that they were located
in one of two possible positions. Thus, our study has increased the number of genes for which there is positional mapping
information in the rat almost fivefold. 相似文献

Through a combination of radiation hybrid mapping and studies by FISH and zoo-FISH we have made a comparative investigation of the distal portion of rat chromosome 1 (RNO1) and the entire mouse chromosome 19 (MMU19). It was found that homologous segments of RNO1 and MMU19 are similar in banding morphology and in length as determined by several different methods, and that the gene order of the 46 genes studied appears to be conserved across the homologous segments in the two species. High-resolution zoo-FISH techniques showed that MMU19 probes highlight only a continuous segment on RNO1 (1q43-qter), with no detectable signals on other rat chromosomes. We conclude that these data suggest the evolutionary conservation of a chromosomal segment from a common rodent ancestor. This segment now constitutes the entire MMU19 and a large segment distally on RNO1q in the mouse and rat, respectively. 相似文献

MOTIVATION: The completion of human and mouse genome sequences provides a valuable resource for decoding other mammalian genomes. The comparative mapping by annotation and sequence similarity (COMPASS) strategy takes advantage of the resource and has been used in several genome-mapping projects. It uses existing comparative genome maps based on conserved regions to predict map locations of a sequence. An automated multiple-species COMPASS tool can facilitate in the genome sequencing effort and comparative genomics study of other mammalian species. RESULTS: The prerequisite of COMPASS is a comparative map table between the reference genome and the predicting genome. We have built and collected comparative maps among five species including human, cattle, pig, mouse and rat. Cattle-human and pig-human comparative maps were built based on the positions of orthologous markers and the conserved synteny groups between human and cattle and human and pig genomes, respectively. Mouse-human and rat-human comparative maps were based on the conserved sequence segments between the two genomes. With a match to human genome sequences, the approximate location of a query sequence can be predicted in cattle, pig, mouse and rat genomes based on the position of the match relatively to the orthologous markers or the conserved segments.

Identification of predictive markers in QTL regions that impact production traits in commercial populations of swine is dependent on construction of dense comparative maps with human and mouse genomes. Chromosomal painting in swine suggests that large genomic blocks are conserved between pig and human, while mapping of individual genes reveals that gene order can be quite divergent. High-resolution comparative maps in regions affecting traits of interest are necessary for selection of positional candidate genes to evaluate nucleotide variation causing phenotypic differences. The objective of this study was to construct an ordered comparative map of human chromosome 10 and pig chromosomes 10 and 14. As a large portion of both pig chromosomes are represented by HSA10, genes at regularly spaced intervals along this chromosome were targeted for placement in the porcine genome. A total of 29 genes from human chromosome 10 were mapped to porcine chromosomes 10 (SSC10) and 14 (SSC14) averaging about 5 Mb distance of human DNA per marker. Eighteen genes were assigned by linkage in the MARC mapping population, five genes were physically assigned with the IMpRH mapping panel and seven genes were assigned on both maps. Seventeen genes from human 10p mapped to SSC10, and 12 genes from human 10q mapped to SSC14. Comparative maps of mammalian species indicate that chromosomal segments are conserved across several species and represent syntenic blocks with distinct breakpoints. Development of comparative maps containing several species should reveal conserved syntenic blocks that will allow us to better define QTL regions in livestock. 相似文献

Between rat and mouse zoo-FISH reveals 49 chromosomal segments that have been conserved in evolution
Mouse single chromosome paints were applied to rat prophase/prometaphase chromosomes to detect homologous chromosome regions. The analysis revealed 49 rat chromosomal regions ranging in size from whole chromosomes down to small bands near the limit of detection with this method, which was estimated to be 2-3 Mb. When all the painted regions were taken into account, the whole rat genome was covered with mouse-homologous regions, with the exception of small segments near the centromeres and the short arms of Chromosomes (Chrs) 3, 11, 12, and 13. These regions were shown to contain high levels of rat-specific repetitive DNA. The number of conserved segments between rat and mouse detected by our high-resolution zoo-FISH method was significantly higher than that reported in previous studies. 相似文献

Genomic organization and expression profile of the human and mouse <Emphasis Type="Italic">WAVE</Emphasis> gene family 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The WAVE gene family, which contains three members, has been shown to play a major role in the actin polymerization and cytoskeleton organization processes. We have identified the WAVE3 gene from Chromosome (Chr) 13q12, as being involved in one of the breakpoints of a t(1:13)(q21:q12) reciprocal translocation, in a patient with ganglioneuroblastoma (Sossey-Alaoui et al. 2002; Oncogene 21: 5967–5974). We have also reported the cloning of the mouse Wave3. During our analysis of the human gene map, we also noted that WAVE2 maps to Chr region lp35-36, which frequently undergoes loss of heterozygosity and deletion in advanced stage neuroblastoma. These data clearly indicate a possible involvement of the WAVE genes in the pathogenesis of neuroblastoma. In this study, we report the complete genomic organization and expression profile of the three human WAVE genes and their mouse orthologs. We show that the WAVE genes have distinctive expression patterns in both adult and fetal human and mouse tissues. We also show a high level of conservation between these genes, in both the nucleotide and protein sequences. We finally show that the genomic structure is highly conserved among these genes and that the mouse Wave genes map to chromosome regions that have synteny in the human genome. The gene content in these syntenic regions is also conserved, suggesting that the WAVE genes are derived from a common ancient ancestor by genome duplication. The genomic characterization and expression analysis of the WAVE genes provide the basis towards understanding the function of these genes. It also provides the first steps towards the development of mouse models for the role of the WAVE genes in actin and cytoskeleton organization in general, and in the development of neuroblastoma in particular. 相似文献

Effective comparative mapping inference utilizing developing gene maps of animal species requires the inclusion of anchored reference loci that are homologous to genes mapped in the more "gene-dense" mouse and human maps. Nominated anchor loci, termed comparative anchor tagged sequences (CATS), have been ordered in the mouse linkage map, but due to the dearth of common polymorphisms among human coding genes have not been well represented in human linkage maps. We present here an ordered framework map of 314 comparative anchor markers in humans based on mapping analysis in the Genebridge 4 panel of radiation hybrid cell lines, plus empirically optimized CATS PCR primers which detect these markers. The ordering of these homologous gene markers in human and mouse maps provides a framework for comparative gene mapping of representative mammalian species. 相似文献

We have constructed a comparative map in mouse of the critical region of human 22q11 deleted in DiGeorge (DGS) and Velocardiofacial
(VCFS) syndromes. The map includes 11 genes potentially haploinsufficient in these deletion syndromes. We have localized all
the conserved genes to mouse Chromosome (Chr) 16, bands B1-B3. The determination of gene order shows the presence of two regions
(distal and proximal), containing two groups of conserved genes. The gene order in the two regions is not completely conserved;
only in the proximal group is the gene order identical to human. In the distal group the gene order is inverted. These two
regions are separated by a DNA segment containing at least one gene which, in the human DGS region, is the most proximal of
the known deleted genes. In addition, the gene order within the distal group of genes is inverted relative to the human gene
order. Furthermore, a clathrin heavy chain-like gene was not found in the mouse genome by DNA hybridization, indicating that
there is an inconsistent level of gene conservation in the region. These and other independent data obtained in our laboratory
clearly show a complex evolutionary history of the DGS-VCFS region. Our data provide a framework for the development of a
mouse model for the 22q11 deletion with chromosome engineering technologies.

The comparative mapping and sequencing of vertebrate genomes is now a key priority for the Human Genome Project. In addition
to finishing the human genome sequence and generating a `working draft' of the mouse genome sequence, significant attention
is rapidly turning to the analysis of other model organisms, such as the laboratory rat (Rattus norvegicus). As a complement to genome-wide mapping and sequencing efforts, it is often important to generate detailed maps and sequence
data for specific regions of interest. Using an adaptation of our previously described approach for constructing mouse comparative
and physical maps, we have established a general strategy for targeted mapping of the rat genome. Specifically, we constructed
a framework comparative map of human Chromosome (Chr) 7 and the orthologous regions of the rat genome, as well as two large
(>1-Mb) P1-derived artificial chromosome (PAC)-based physical maps. Generation of these physical maps involved the use of
mouse-derived probes that cross-hybridized with rat PAC clones. The first PAC map encompasses the cystic fibrosis transmembrane
conductance regulator gene (Cftr), while the second map allows a three-species comparison of a genomic region containing intra- and inter-chromosomal evolutionary
rearrangements. The studies reported here further demonstrate that cross-species hybridization between related animals, such
as rat and mouse, can be readily used for the targeted construction of clone-based physical maps, thereby accelerating the
analysis of biologically interesting regions of vertebrate genomes.

Comparative DNA sequence analysis of mapped wheat ESTs reveals the complexity of genome relationships between rice and wheat 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
The use of DNA sequence-based comparative genomics for evolutionary studies and for transferring information from model species to related large-genome species has revolutionized molecular genetics and breeding strategies for improving those crops. Comparative sequence analysis methods can be used to cross-reference genes between species maps, enhance the resolution of comparative maps, study patterns of gene evolution, identify conserved regions of the genomes, and facilitate interspecies gene cloning. In this study, 5,780 Triticeae ESTs that have been physically mapped using wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) deletion lines and segregating populations were compared using NCBI BLASTN to the first draft of the public rice (Oryza sativa L.) genome sequence data from 3,280 ordered BAC/PAC clones. A rice genome view of the homoeologous wheat genome locations based on sequence analysis shows general similarity to the previously published comparative maps based on Southern analysis of RFLP. For most rice chromosomes there is a preponderance of wheat genes from one or two wheat chromosomes. The physical locations of non-conserved regions were not consistent across rice chromosomes. Some wheat ESTs with multiple wheat genome locations are associated with the non-conserved regions of similarity between rice and wheat. The inverse view, showing the relationship between the wheat deletion map and rice genomic sequence, revealed the breakdown of gene content and order at the resolution conferred by the physical chromosome deletions in the wheat genome. An average of 35% of the putative single copy genes that were mapped to the most conserved bins matched rice chromosomes other than the one that was most similar. This suggests that there has been an abundance of rearrangements, insertions, deletions, and duplications eroding the wheat-rice genome relationship that may complicate the use of rice as a model for cross-species transfer of information in non-conserved regions. 相似文献

Reciprocal chromosome painting between mouse and rat using complete chromosome probe sets of both species permitted us to assign the chromosomal homology between these rodents. The comparative gene mapping data and chromosome painting have a better than 90% correspondence. The reciprocal painting results graphically show that mouse and rat have strikingly different karyotypes. At least 14 translocations have occurred in the 10-20 million years of evolution that separates these two species. The evolutionary rate of chromosome translocations between these two rodents appears to be up to 10 times greater than that found between humans and cats, or between humans and chimpanzees, where over the last 5-6 million years just one translocation has occurred. Outgroup comparison shows that the mouse genome has incorporated at least three times the amount of interchromosomal rearrangements compared to the rat genome. The utility of chromosome painting was also illustrated by the assignment of two new chromosome homologies between rat and mouse unsuspected by gene mapping: between mouse 11 and rat 20 and between mouse 17 and rat 6. We conclude that reciprocal chromosome painting is a powerful method, which can be used with confidence to chart the genome and predict the chromosome location of genes. Reciprocal painting combined with gene mapping data will allow the construction of large-scale comparative chromosome maps between placental mammals and perhaps other animals. 相似文献

An expanded comparative map of bovine chromosome 27 targeting dairy form QTL regions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
At present, the density of genes on the bovine maps is extremely limited and current resolution of the human-bovine comparative map is insufficient for selection of candidate genes controlling many economic traits of interest in dairy cattle. This study describes the chromosomal mapping of 10 selected gene-associated markers to bovine linkage and radiation hybrid maps to improve the breakpoint resolution in the human-bovine comparative map near two previously identified quantitative trait loci for the linear type trait, dairy form. Two regions of conserved synteny not previously described are reported between the telomeric region of bovine chromosome 27 (BTA27) and human chromosome 3 (HSA3) p24 region and between the HSA4q34.1 region and BTA8. These data increase the number of genes positioned on the bovine gene maps, refine the human-bovine comparative map, and should improve the efficiency of candidate gene selection for the dairy form trait in cattle. 相似文献

To examine the degree of conservation of gene organization in and around the class II regions of the major histocompatibility complexes of mouse and human, we have established the positions of sequences homologous to five human non-class II genes (RING1-5) in mouse, and the positions of sequences homologous to three mouse non-class II genes (KE3-5) in human. The resulting comparative map reveals that the organization of genes in the entire proximal region of the MHCs of mouse and human is remarkably conserved, apart from the H-2K gene pair in mouse, which can be accounted for by a 60 kilobase (kb) insertion. The characterization of the novel human gene RING5 is also presented. This gene, which is widely expressed, maps 85 kb proximal to the DPB2 gene. Partial nucleotide sequencing of a RING5 cDNA clone reveals that it is the human homolog of the mouse KE4 gene.The nucleotide sequence data reported in this paper have been submitted to the GenBank nucleotide sequence database and have been assigned the accession number M58660. 相似文献

Sequence and diversity of the rat delta T-cell receptor 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
The cDNA sequence of the delta T-cell receptor (TCRD) in the adult Lewis rat thymus was determined using the technique of rapid amplification of cDNA ends. Sixteen variable region genes (TCRDV), two diversity regions (TCRDD), two joining regions (TCRDJ), and a single constant region gene (TCRDC) were identified. The sixteen unique TCRDV genes identified represented eight different subfamilies in the rat and were highly conserved (>80% nucleotide identity) to corresponding mouse sequences. Extensive junctional diversity was observed in the rat, with both TCRDD regions (TCRDD1 and TCRDD2) utilized in the majority of cDNA clones identified. The two TCRDJ genes were highly conserved and corresponded to TCRDJ1 and TCRDJ2 in the mouse; the majority of clones utilized TCRDJ1. The TCRDC region in the rat was 91.1% identical to the mouse TCRDC gene and was highly conserved to other species. Although extensive sequence information about mouse gamma-delta T-cell receptor genes is available, current knowledge of rat gamma-delta T-cells is limited. The sequence analysis presented in this study adds to our understanding of gamma-delta T-cells in general, and it may be utilized to study the role of gamma-delta T-cells in immune-mediated disease and transplantation models previously established in the rat. 相似文献

Interspecies chimera through blastocyst complementation could be an alternative approach to create human organs in animals by using human pluripotent stem cells.A mismatch of the major histocompatibility complex of vascular endothelial cells between the human and host animal will cause graft rejection in the transplanted organs.Therefore,to achieve a transplantable organ in animals without rejection,creation of vascular endothelial cells derived from humans within the organ is necessary.In this study,to explore whether donor xeno-pluripotent stem cells can compensate for blood vasculature in host animals,we generated rat-mouse chimeras by injection of rat embryonic stem cells(rESCs) into mouse blastocysts with deficiency of Flk-1 protein,which is associated with endothelial and hematopoietic cell development.We found that rESCs could differentiate into vascular endothelial and hematopoietic cells in the rat-mouse chimeras.The whole yolk sac(YS) of Flk-1~(EGFP/ECFP) rat-mouse chimera was full of rat blood vasculature.Rat genes related to vascular endothelial cells,arteries,and veins,blood vessels formation process,as well as hematopoietic cells,were highly expressed in the YS.Our results suggested that rat vascular endothelial cells could undergo proliferation,migration,and self-assembly to form blood vasculature and that hematopoietic cells could differentiate into B cells,T cells,and myeloid cells in rat-mouse chimeras,which was able to rescue early embryonic lethality caused by Flk-1 deficiency in mouse. 相似文献

A porcine comparative map based on 83 coding loci was constructed. Comparisons to the human and mouse genetic maps revealed linkage conservation between humans and pigs more extensive than that between any of these and the mouse. The average lengths of conserved chromosome segments between pig and human and between pig and mouse were estimated at 37 and 21 cM, respectively. Rearrangements of gene orders within homologous chromosome segments were found to be common among these distantly related mammals. The development of a comparative map is an advance in pig genome analysis and contributes to the dissection of mammalian genome evolution. 相似文献

Comparative genetic maps of two species allow insights into the rearrangements of their genomes since divergence from a common ancestor. When the map details the positions of genes (or any set of orthologous DNA sequences) on chromosomes, syntenic blocks of one or more genes may be identified and used, with appropriate models, to estimate the number of chromosomal segments with conserved content conserved between species. We propose a model for the distribution of the lengths of unobserved segments on each chromosome that allows for widely differing chromosome lengths. The model uses as data either the counts of genes in a syntenic block or the distance between extreme members of a block, or both. The parameters of the proposed segment length distribution, estimated by maximum likelihood, give predictions of the number of conserved segments per chromosome. The model is applied to data from two comparative maps for the chicken, one with human and one with mouse. 相似文献
