Abstract
The adenosine deaminase locus (Ada) in the mouse has been localized byin situ hybridization to band 2H3. Linkage analysis of backcross data has shown thatAda is 13.8±2.7 cM from the coat texture mutant, ragged,Ra. From the results of earlier work (Abbott, C. M.,et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83:693, 1986), it had been suggested thatwst was a low-activity allele ofAda, but this cannot be so becauseAda andwst have been found to be nonallelic.
