We have used a DNA probe specific for a functional mouse ornithine decarboxylase gene (Odc) in conjunction with a panel of Chinese hamster × mouse somatic cell hybrids to assign Odc to mouse chromosome 12. This assignment provides further evidence of genetic homoeology between a region of mouse chromosome 12 and the distal short arm of human chromosome 2.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
