Abstract
A survey of wild mouse DNA with a c-myc exon 1 probe revealed a Taq I restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) among Mus species. As a result of this Taq I RFLP, a cross between Mus musculus domesticus and BALB/cJ permitted the positioning of Myc-1 on chromosome 15 with respect to Ly-6, Sis, and Gdc-1. Compilation of the recombination frequency generated from this cross with published cytogenetic and plasma-cytoma somatic cell hybrid data suggests the following chromosome 15 orientation: centromere--Myc-1--Ly-6--Sis--Gdc-1--telomere. This gene order is consistent with conservation of man-mouse synteny.
