Abstract
The lactoperoxidase (LPO), retinoblastoma (RB1), and α-lactalbumin (LALBA) genes have been mapped by fluorescent in situ hybridization respectively to cattle Chromosomes (Chrs) 19, 12, 5; goat Chrs 19, 12, 5; and sheep Chrs 11, 10, 3. The results confirm the homologies among cattle, sheep, and goat chromosomes, previously reported, and provide more information for the comparison between the bovine and human karyotypes and gene maps.
