The majority of recombination events detected within the mouse major histocompatibility complex (MHC) fall into regions of limited physical distance known as hot spots of meiotic recombination. The hot spot associated with the Ea gene appears to be active only in the presence of the p allele carried by the intra-MHC recombinant strain BIO.F(13R). To study the frequency, regulation, and haplotype specificity of recombination at the Ea hot spot, progeny from three different backcrosses involving BIO.F(13R) were screened for recombination events across the MHC using DNA microsatellite markers. Screening of a total of 750 backcross progeny permitted the identification of seven recombinants within the Ea gene. Using restriction site polymorphisms, and sequence-based nucleotide polymorphisms, the recombination breakpoints in all seven Ea recombinants were mapped to two adjacent segments of 71 bp and 346 bp in intron 4 of the Ea gene.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007438 Introns Sequences of DNA in the genes that are located between the EXONS. They are transcribed along with the exons but are removed from the primary gene transcript by RNA SPLICING to leave mature RNA. Some introns code for separate genes. Intervening Sequences,Sequences, Intervening,Intervening Sequence,Intron,Sequence, Intervening
D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D012150 Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length Variation occurring within a species in the presence or length of DNA fragment generated by a specific endonuclease at a specific site in the genome. Such variations are generated by mutations that create or abolish recognition sites for these enzymes or change the length of the fragment.
