Abstract.
The callipyge (CLPG) gene was fine-mapped by linkage analysis to a 4.6-cM chromosome interval on distal ovine OAR18q, flanked by microsatellite markers IDVGA30 and OY3. The OAR18q linkage map and human HSA14q transcript map were aligned by genotyping two bovine-hamster whole-genome radiation hybrid panels with the microsatellite markers, as well as with sequences corresponding to HSA14q genes. Using Type I loci mapping to the IDVGA30–OY3 interval as anchor points, we have constructed a 1.4-Mb bovine BAC contig containing the IDVGA30–OY3 interval. We demonstrate that the IDVGA30– OY3 interval spans approximately 770 kb and contains at least four genes: YY1, WARS, DLK1, and GTL2.
