The sex-linked anemic (sla) mouse carries an anemia that results from an inherited defect of intestinal iron absorption and provides an ideal model with which to investigate this poorly understood yet clinically important process. We have precisely mapped the sla locus within the central region of the X chromosome in relation to a panel of microsatellite markers. Analysis of over 500 progeny from an intraspecific intercross and a smaller intraspecific backcross segregating sla established the following locus order in the sla region: DXMit45-sla- (DXMit16, DXMit96)-DXMit41-DXMit169-DXMit170- DXMit148-(DXMit18, DXMit171)-DXMit84-DXMit64. The two microsatellites DXMit16 and DXMit96 are located 0.60 +/- 0.35cM from sla and form the telomeric limit of the sla region. The mapping of the sla locus is an important first step to identifying the gene itself.

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.

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.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
