Comparative gene mapping of lactoperoxidase, retinoblastoma, and alpha-lactalbumin genes in cattle, sheep, and goats

Mamm Genome. 1993;4(10):593-7. doi: 10.1007/BF00361391.

Abstract

The lactoperoxidase (LPO), retinoblastoma (RB1), and alpha-lactalbumin (LALBA) genes have been mapped by fluorescent in situ hybridization respectively to cattle Chromosomes (Chrs) 19, 12, 5; goat Chrs 19, 12, 5; and sheep Chrs 11, 10, 3. The results confirm the homologies among cattle, sheep, and goat chromosomes, previously reported, and provide more information for the comparison between the bovine and human karyotypes and gene maps.
