The human liver arginase gene, whose deficiency is responsible for argininemia (McKusick no. 20780), has been assigned to 6q23 through a combination of somatic cell hybrid analysis and in situ hybridization using a 1,550-base pair (bp) human DNA probe for this gene.

D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
