Abstract
Economically important traits such as growth and backfat in pigs have been shown to be influenced by genes in swine chromosome (SSC) 10q12-->qter corresponding to human chromosome (HSA) 10p. However, since gene information in the swine chromosomal region was limited, we attempted to generate a dense comparative map between SSC10 and HSA10 by mapping the 115 genes of HSA10 to a swine RH map (IMpRH map). In the mapping ten genes were assigned to SSC10, 88 to SSC14, and one to SSC3. One gene was suggested to link to SSC3, and another to SSC9. The correspondences between HSA10 and SSC10 and between HSA10 and SSC14 were essentially consistent with the observations obtained from bi/uni-directional chromosome painting or other results. This study further indicated that a large number of intrachromosomal rearrangements occurred in the synteny-conserved regions following species separation.

Abstract
Bi- and uni-directional chromosome painting (ZOO-FISH) and gene mapping have revealed correspondences between human chromosome (HSA) 17 and porcine chromosome (SSC) 12 harboring economically important quantitative trait loci. In the present study, we have assigned 204 genes localized on HSA17 to SSC12 to generate a comprehensive comparative map between HSA17 and SSC12. Two hundred fifty-five primer pairs were designed using porcine sequences orthologous with human genes. Of the 255 primer pairs, 208 (81.6%) were used to assign the corresponding genes to porcine chromosomes using the INRA-Minnesota 7000-rad porcine x Chinese hamster whole genome radiation hybrid (IMpRH) panel. Two hundred three genes were integrated into the SSC12 IMpRH linkage maps; and one gene, PPARBP, was found to link to THRA1 located in SSC12 but not incorporated into the linkage maps. Three genes (GIT1, SLC25A11, and HT008) were suggested to link to SSC12 markers, and the remaining gene (RPL26) did not link to any genes/expressed sequence tags/markers registered, including those in the present study. A comparison of the gene orders among SSC12, HSA17, and mouse chromosome 11 indicates that intra-chromosomal rearrangements occurred frequently in this ancestral mammalian chromosome during speciation.

Abstract
The human chromosome (HSA)19q region has been shown to correspond to swine chromosome (SSC) 6q11-->q21 by bi-directional chromosomal painting and gene mapping. However, since the precise correspondence has not been determined, 26 genes localized in HSA19q13.3-->q13.4 were assigned to the SSC6 region mainly by radiation hybrid (RH) mapping, and additionally, by somatic cell hybrid panel (SCHP) mapping, and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Out of the 26 genes, 24 were assigned to a swine RH map with LOD scores greater than 6 (threshold of significance). The most likely order of the 24 genes along SSC6 was calculated by CarthaGene, revealing that the order is essentially the same as that in HSA19q13.3-->q13.4. For AURKC and RPS5 giving LOD scores not greater than 6, SCHP mapping and FISH were additionally performed; SCHP mapping assigned AURKC and RPS5 to SSC6q22-->q23 and SSC6q21, respectively, which is consistent with the observation of FISH. Consequently, all the genes (26 genes) examined in the present study were shown to localize in SSC6q12-->q23, and the order of the genes along the chromosomes was shown to be essentially the same in swine and human, though several intrachromosomal rearrangements were observed between the species.

Abstract
The isochore organization of the mammalian genome comprises a general pattern and some special patterns, the former being characterized by a wider compositional distribution of the DNA fragments. The large majority of the mammalian genomes belong to the former, and only some groups, such as the Myomorpha sub-order of Rodentia, belong to the latter. Here we describe the compositional organization of the pig (Sus scrofa) genome that belongs to the general mammalian pattern. We investigated (i) the compositional distribution of the genes by analysis of their GC3 levels (the GC levels at the third codon positions), and (ii) the correlation between the GC3 value of orthologous genes from pig and other vertebrates (human, calf, mouse, chicken, and Xenopus). As expected, the highest gene concentration corresponded to the H3 isochore family, and the highest GC3 correlations were observed in the pig/human and pig/calf comparisons. Then we identified, by in situ hybridization of the GC-richest H3 isochores, the pig chromosomal regions endowed by the highest gene-density that largely corresponded to the telomeric chromosomal bands. Moreover, we observed that these gene-rich bands are syntenic with the previously identified GC-richest/gene richest H3+ bands of the human chromosomes. At the cell nucleus level, we observed that the gene-dense region corresponded to the more internal compartment, as previously found in human and avian cell nuclei.

Abstract
We report here the localisation of BAIAP1 (13q24), HTR1F (13q45), PTPRG (13q23) and UBE1C (13q24) by fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH), and BAIAP1 (Swr2114; 21 cR; LOD = 11.03), GATA2 (Sw2448; 37 cR; LOD = 8.26), IL5RA (Swr2114; 64 cR; LOD = 3.85), LMCD1 (Sw2450; 61 cR; LOD = 4.73), MME (CP; 50 cR; LOD = 7.75), RYK (Swc22; 12 cR; LOD = 18.62) and SGU003 (Sw1876; 6 cR; LOD = 16.99) by radiation hybrid (RH) mapping to porcine chromosome 13 (SSC13). The mapping of these 10 different loci (all mapped to human chromosome 3; HSA3) not only confirms the extended conservation of synteny between HSA3 and SSC13, but also defines more precisely the regions with conserved linkage. The syntenic region of the centromeric part of SSC13 was determined by isolating porcine bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones (842D4 and 1031H1) using primers amplifying porcine microsatellite markers S0219 and S0076 (mapped to this region). Sequence comparison of the BAC end sequences with the human genome sequence showed that the centromeric part of SSC13 is homologous with HSA3p24.

Abstract
Comparative mapping studies facilitate the identification of genes located in quantitative trait locus (QTL) regions in domestic animals by utilizing information from the human genome. Radiation hybrid (RH) mapping is effective for this purpose because of its high resolution in ordered gene mapping on chromosomes. We constructed an RH map of pig chromosome 7, by adding 23 markers associated with genes. This RH map clearly demonstrated the mosaic of homology between pig chromosome 7 (SSC7) and human chromosomes 6, 14 and 15 at a 'gene' level, and was confirmed by linkage analysis. Clarification of the homology of SSC7 to human chromosomes will contribute to the elucidation of the gene(s) responsible for QTL detected on this chromosome.

Abstract
A molecular understanding of porcine reproduction is of biological interest and economic importance. Our Midwest Consortium has produced cDNA libraries containing the majority of genes expressed in major female reproductive tissues, and we have deposited into public databases 21,499 expressed sequence tag (EST) gene sequences from the 3' end of clones from these libraries. These sequences represent 10,574 different genes, based on sequence comparison among these data, and comparison with existing porcine ESTs and genes indicate as many as 4652 of these EST clusters are novel. In silico analysis identified sequences that are expressed in specific pig tissues or organs and confirmed the broad expression in pig for many genes ubiquitously expressed in human tissues. Furthermore, we have developed computer software to identify sequence similarity of these pig genes with their human counterparts, and to extract the mapping information of these human homologues from genome databases. We demonstrate the utility of this software for comparative mapping by localizing 61 genes on the porcine physical map for Chromosomes (Chrs) 5, 10, and 14.

Abstract
Increasing the number of mapped genes will facilitate (1) the identification of potential candidate genes for a trait of interest within quantitative trait loci regions and (2) comparative mapping. The metabolic activities of the liver are essential for providing fuel to peripheral organs, for regulation of amino acid, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and for homoeostasis of vitamins, minerals and electrolytes. We aimed to identify and map genes coding for enzymes active in the liver by somatic cell genetics in order to contribute to the improvement of the porcine gene map. We mapped 28 genes of hepatic metabolic pathways including six genes whose locations could be confirmed and 22 new assignments. Localization information in human was available for all but one gene. In total 24 genes were assigned to in the expected chromosomal regions on the basis of the currently available information on the comparative human and pig map while for four genes our results suggest a new correspondence or extended regions of conservation between porcine and human chromosomes.

Abstract
Current comparative maps between human chromosome 21 and the proximal part of cattle chromosome 1 are insufficient to define chromosomal rearrangements because of the low density of mapped genes in the bovine genome. The recently completed sequence of human chromosome 21 facilitates the detailed comparative analysis of corresponding segments on BTA1. In this study eight bovine bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clones containing bovine orthologues of human chromosome 21 genes, i.e. GRIK1, CLDN8, TIAM1, HUNK, SYNJ1, OLIG2, IL10RB, and KCNE2 were physically assigned by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to BTA1q12.1-q12.2. Sequence tagged site (STS) markers derived from these clones were mapped on the 3000 rad Roslin/Cambridge bovine radiation hybrid (RH) panel. In addition to these eight novel markers, 17 known markers from previously published BTA1 linkage or RH maps were also mapped on the Roslin/Cambridge bovine RH panel resulting in an integrated map with 25 markers of 355.4 cR(3000) length. The human-cattle genome comparison revealed the existence of three chromosomal breakpoints and two probable inversions in this region.
