Genetic Map of the domestic
cat. Gene symbols are based, in most cases, on human gene nomenclature. The
majority of loci were assigned using isozyme or Southern blot analysis in a
panel of rodent x cat somatic cell hybrids although some markers were mapped
in linkage crosses or using fluorescent in situ hybridization. The numbers
shaded in gray (to the right of each gene symbol) refer to the human chromosome
to which the feline gene homolog has been assigned. Colored blocks with numbers)(to
the left of each chromosome) illustrate the results of chromosome painting of
feline metaphase chromosomes using libraries of cell-sorted individual human
chromosomes as a hybridization probe.
