Extent of the mouse t complex and its inversions shown by in situ hybridization.

Probes for loci situated near one end of the proximal (Tcp-1) and distal ( Qa-2, 3) inversions of the mouse t complex have been hybridized to chromosomes of mice with and without t complexes and with morphologically distinguishable chromosome 17s. Both the probe for Tcp-1 and that for Qa-2, 3 hybridized to clearly different positions on t and non-t chromosomes, thus making visible the extent of the two inversions. The proximal inversion extends from roughly the junction of bands A1 and A2 to band A3, and the distal inversion from band A3 to band C. Thus, the whole t complex extends from the band A1-A2 junction to band C, and is therefore somewhat larger than previously thought, and occupies about 1.2% of the genome. A probe for complement component 3 (C3-1), genetically known to be several cM distal to the t complex, was found by in situ hybridization to lie in band E1. The proximal part of chromosome 17 is one of the best known parts of the mouse genome, at both the genetic and molecular levels. It may soon be possible to correlate the length of the t complex in terms of chromosomal distance with its physical length in megabases.[1]
