The rat provides a number of important models of human genetic disease; however, the rat genetic map has not been extensively developed. Although most rat chromosomes carry several gene assignments, some major linkage groups (LG) remain to be mapped. To determine the chromosome location of the largest unmapped linkage group in the rat (LG V containing multiple carboxylesterase loci), we used single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis to identify the rat esterase-10 gene in a panel of rat x mouse somatic cell hybrids. We found that the carboxylesterase gene family and hence LG V are located on rat chromosome 19. We have also confirmed the assignment of the angiotensinogen gene to rat chromosome 19 and have used a large set of recombinant inbred strains to map two anonymous variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) markers to this chromosome. The current findings bring the total number of genes assigned to rat chromosome 19 from 3 to 19 and provide further evidence of substantial homology between this chromosome and chromosome 8 in the mouse.

D012091 Repetitive Sequences, Nucleic Acid Sequences of DNA or RNA that occur in multiple copies. There are several types: INTERSPERSED REPETITIVE SEQUENCES are copies of transposable elements (DNA TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS or RETROELEMENTS) dispersed throughout the genome. TERMINAL REPEAT SEQUENCES flank both ends of another sequence, for example, the long terminal repeats (LTRs) on RETROVIRUSES. Variations may be direct repeats, those occurring in the same direction, or inverted repeats, those opposite to each other in direction. TANDEM REPEAT SEQUENCES are copies which lie adjacent to each other, direct or inverted (INVERTED REPEAT SEQUENCES).

D004276 DNA, Satellite Highly repetitive DNA sequences found in HETEROCHROMATIN, mainly near centromeres. They are composed of simple sequences (very short) (see MINISATELLITE REPEATS) repeated in tandem many times to form large blocks of sequence. Additionally, following the accumulation of mutations, these blocks of repeats have been repeated in tandem themselves. The degree of repetition is on the order of 1000 to 10 million at each locus. Loci are few, usually one or two per chromosome. They were called satellites since in density gradients, they often sediment as distinct, satellite bands separate from the bulk of genomic DNA owing to a distinct BASE COMPOSITION.

D004277 DNA, Single-Stranded A single chain of deoxyribonucleotides that occurs in some bacteria and viruses. It usually exists as a covalently closed circle. Single-Stranded DNA,DNA, Single Stranded,Single Stranded DNA
