Characterization and chromosomal localization of five canine ATOX1 pseudogenes

Cytogenet Cell Genet. 2001;93(1-2):105-8. doi: 10.1159/000056959.

Abstract

We have isolated six ATOX1 loci from the canine genome in BAC clones. Sequence analysis showed that five of these clones correspond to processed pseudogenes. Fluorescent in situ hybridization allowed us to map the genuine ATOX1 gene to CFA4q24-->q31 and the ATOX1 pseudogenes to CFA19q13.1, CFA4q24-->q31, CFA18q24-->q25, CFA9q22.1 -->q22.2 and CFA20q11-->q12.
