Assignment<FOOTREF>[sup 1] </FOOTREF> of the Homeobox A10 gene (HOXA10) to porcine chromosome SSC18q23→q24 by FISH and confirmation by hybrid panel analyses.

This article reports the localization of the porcine HOXA10 gene to chromosome SSC18q23-q24 by FISH and confirm the position by the use of hybrid panels. PCR amplification to generate a probe for screening of a porcine PAC library was done with primers A. FISH was performed. Statistical analysis revealed a significant correlation of 1.0 between the HOXA10 gene and SSC 18. Within SSC18, chromosome region q13 -q21 indicated the highest probability. The most significantly linked marker is S0120 on SSC18.
