A cDNA clone complementary to the mRNA encoding the rabbit erythrocyte specific carbonic anhydrase, CAI, has been used as probe for human CAI sequences in the analysis of DNA from panels of rodent/human somatic cell hybrids. The presence of the human CAI gene in all hybrids correlates with the presence of chromosome 8. Together with published mapping data, this assignment indicates that three CA loci are situated on chromosome 8.

D002898 Chromosomes, Human, Pair 8 A specific pair of GROUP C CHROMOSOMES of the human chromosome classification. Chromosome 8
D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
