Abstract
The mammalian Y-linked sex determining gene, SRY (Sex determining region Y), encodes a protein with a DNA-binding domain, HMG box. In a wide variety of animal species, a large family of genes containing this highly homologous HMG box, which has been named Sox (SRY-related HMG box), have been identified. Several Sox genes have already been shown to be transcription factors involved in development. In the present study, using primed in situ labelling (PRINS), we report the chromosome mapping of two Sox genes in rice field eel Monopterus albus. The Sox9 gene was mapped to chromosome 6 at a position of 52.03% of the distance from the centromere, while the Sox17 gene was assigned to chromosome 5 on the region of 20.17% from centromere.
