Abstract
By means of somatic cell hybrids segregating rat chromosomes, we determined the chromosome localization of three rat genes of the Jun family: Jumb (Chr 19), Jun (=c-Jun) (Chr 5) and Jund (Chr 16). The Jun gene was also localized to the 5q31–33 region by fluorescence in situ hybridization. These rat gene assignments reveal two new homologies with mouse and human chromosomes, and provide a new example of synteny conserved in the human and a rodent species (the mouse), but split between the two rodent species.
