Abstract

The genome mapping projects now produce very dense maps with up to several thousands of markers per chromosome. Besides synteny plays a increasing role in mapping: enrichment of poor maps from the maps of close genomes (in terms of evolution) is a high-reward task. We propose a map viewer adapted to this situation: MappetShow gives a clear view of very dense maps and compares efficiently several maps. MappetShow is based on non-linear viewing and is written in Java. A map description language isolates the software from the data sources. This software was easily used on data coming from as different sources as an Object Request Broker, an Object-Oriented Database, or a flat data stream. MappetShow can be browsed at the URL http:¿www.infobiogen.fr/services/Mappet. More generally we discuss how to use the non-linear viewing concept in molecular biology data visualization.

Mitotic karyotyping and FISH mapping of the gender-specific locus indicate an advanced XY system in Hippophae rhamnoides.

Hippophae rhamnoides ssp. turkestanica, a subdioecious plant inhabiting the cold desert of the Indian Himalaya, has gained immense recognition for its nutritional and medicinal values. In recent years, the plant species has proven to be a suitable system to understand the evolution of dioecy. Despite its biological significance, the cytogenetics of this dioecious plant is unclear due to various conflicting accounts of its X-Y chromosome system, particularly the length of Y-chromosome. In this study, we resolved these ambiguities through comprehensive cytogenetic analyses across diverse western Himalayan populations. Using morphometric analysis and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) with a gender-specific marker (HRMSSR), we confirmed homomorphic XX chromosomes in females and heteromorphic sex-chromosomes in males with a notably smaller Y-chromosome. The investigation also revealed a predominant somatic chromosome number of 2n = 24, although minor deviations (2n = 18, 20, 22) appeared at the seed level. These findings highlight an evolutionarily advanced sex-chromosome system. This first detailed cytogenetic investigation of Himalayan Seabuckthorn provides critical insights into the chromosomal architecture, laying a crucial foundation for future evolutionary, genomic, and conservation studies in the species.

Localization of non-specific X-linked mental retardation gene (MRX73) to Xp22.2.

Clinical and molecular studies are reported on a family (MRX73) of five males with non-specific X-linked mental retardation (XLMR). A total of 33 microsatellite and RFLP markers was typed. The gene for this XLMR condition was been linked to DXS1195, with a lod score of 2.36 at theta = 0. The haplotype and multipoint linkage analyses suggest localization of the MRX73 locus to an interval of 2 cM defined by markers DXS8019 and DXS365, in Xp22.2. This interval contains the gene of Coffin-Lowry syndrome (RSK2), where a missense mutation has been associated with a form of non-specific mental retardation. Therefore, a search for RSK2 mutations was performed in the MRX73 family, but no causal mutation was found. We hypothesize that another unidentified XLMR gene is located near RSK2.
