Abstract
The cosmid-derived microsatellite CSSM 25 has previously been shown to map to bovine syntenic group U2 by link-age and hybrid somatic cell analysis. We have mapped the cosmid by fluorescent in situ hybridization to bovine Chromosome (Chr) 9q17-21 and ovine Chr 8q17-21 and hence assign U2 to Chr 9 in cattle. Bovine Chr 9 and ovine Chr 8 show strong banding pattern homology, and the localization of CSSM 25 to the same region confirms the strong conservation of gene locations on these chromosomes.
