Random cloning of genes from mouse chromosome 17.
Kasahara, M, Figueroa, F, Klein, J
We describe a method for isolating cosmid clones randomly from mouse chromosome 17. A cosmid library was constructed from the mouse-Chinese hamster cell line R4 4-1 that contains a limited amount of...
Evolution of mouse major histocompatibility complex genes borne by t chromosomes.
Figueroa, F, Golubić, M, Nizetić, D, Klein, J
Virtually all wild mouse populations carry t haplotypes that cause embryonic lethality or semilethality, distortion of segregation ratios, suppression of crossing-over, and male sterility. The t...
Ben-Shlomo, R., Figueroa, F., Klein, J., Nevo, E.
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) of two major histocompatibility class II genes (Pα(1) and Qβ) were studied in 13 populations of four chromosomal species (2n = 52, 54, 58 and 60)...
T-Specific DNA Polymorphisms among Wild Mice from Israel and Spain
Figueroa, F., Neufeld, E., Ritte, U., Klein, J.
Lehrach and his coworkers have isolated a series of DNA probes that specifically hybridize with different regions of mouse chromosome 17 within the t complex. The probes display restriction fragment...
Low Diversity of T Haplotypes in the Eastern Form of the House Mouse, Mus Musculus L
Ruvinsky, A., Polyakov, A., Agulnik, A., Tichy, H., Figueroa, F., Klein, J.
In previous studies, 13 different recessive embryonic lethal genes have been associated with t haplotypes in the wild mice of the species Mus domesticus. In this communication we have analyzed five...
Dating the Primigenial C4-Cyp21 Duplication in Primates
Horiuchi, Y., Kawaguchi, H., Figueroa, F., O'hUigin, C., Klein, J.
C4 and CYP21 are two adjacent, but functionally unrelated genes residing in the middle of the mammalian major histocompatibility complex (Mhc). The C4 gene codes for the fourth component of the...
Linkage relationships and haplotype polymorphism among cichlid Mhc class II B loci.
Málaga-Trillo, E, Zaleska-Rutczynska, Z, McAndrew, B, Vincek, V, Figueroa, F, Sültmann, H, ...
The species flocks of cichlid fishes in the Great East African Lakes are paradigms of adaptive radiation and hence, of great interest to evolutionary biologists. Phylogenetic studies of these fishes...
Ancient allelism at the cytosolic chaperonin-alpha-encoding gene of the zebrafish.
Takami, K, Figueroa, F, Mayer, W E, Klein, J
The T-complex protein 1, TCP1, gene codes for the CCT-alpha subunit of the group II chaperonins. The gene was first described in the house mouse, in which it is closely linked to the T locus at a...
