Physical mapping of duplicated genomic regions of two chromosome ends in rice
J Wu et al. Genetics. 1998 Dec.
Abstract
Two genomic regions duplicated in distal ends of the short arms of chromosomes 11 and 12 in rice (Oryza sativa L.) were characterized by YAC ordering with 46 genetic markers. Physical maps covering most of the duplicated regions were generated. Thirty-five markers, including 21 rice cDNA clones, showed the duplicated loci arrayed strictly in the same order along the two specific genomic regions. Regardless of their different genetic distances, the two duplicated segments may have a similar and minimum physical size with an expected length of about 2.5 Mb. However, differences of RFLP frequency for the duplicated DNA copies and recombination frequency for a given homoeologous area between the two regions were observed, indicating that these changes in genome organization occurred after the duplication. Our results establish a good model system for resolving the relationships between gene duplication, expression of duplicated genes, and the frequency of meiotic recombination in small chromosomal regions.
