T1 - Genetic Mapping of 262 Loci Derived from Expressed Sequences in a Murine Interspecific Cross Using Single-Strand Conformational Polymorphism Analysis Y1 - 1997/11/01 JF - Genome Research JO - Genome Research SP - 1085 EP - 1093 DO - 10.1101/gr.7.11.1085 VL - 7 IS - 11 UR - http://genome.cshlp.org/content/7/11/1085.abstract N2 - We have demonstrated previously that noncoding sequences of genes are a robust source of polymorphisms between mouse species when tested using single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis, and that these polymorphisms are useful for genetic mapping. In this report we demonstrate that presumptive 3′-untranslated region sequence obtained from expressed sequence tags (ESTs) can be analyzed in a similar fashion, and we have used this approach to map 262 loci using an interspecific backcross. These results demonstrate SSCP analysis of genes or ESTs is a simple and efficient means for the genetic localization of transcribed sequences, and is furthermore an approach that is applicable to any system for which there is sufficient sequence polymorphism.
