    Gene structure and chromosomal map** of the rat smooth muscle calponin gene

    Smooth muscle cells (SMC) express a battery of lineage-restricted genes whose encoded proteins impart the unique contractile phenotype that characterizes this muscle type. While the encoded function of many S...

    BB rat diabetes susceptibility and body weight regulation genes colocalize on Chromosome 2

    The genetic etiology of Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus is complicated by the apparent presence of several diabetes susceptibility genetic regions. Type 1 diabetes in the inbred BioBreeding (BB) ...

    Gene-based anchoring of the rat genetic linkage and cytogenetic maps: new regional localizations, orientation of the linkage groups, and insights into mammalian chromosome evolution

    In order to generate anchor points connecting the rat cytogenetic and genetic maps, the cytogenetic position of 62 rat markers (including 55 genes) already localized genetically was determined by fluorescence...
