Abstract

The glucose phosphate isomerase (GPI) locus is closely linked to the halothane sensitivity locus in pig. The chromosomal localization of GPI in pig was confirmed to 6p12----q21 by using in situ hybridization. Of the total grains, 25 percent were located on chromosome 6, with about 65 percent clustered in the cent----q21 segment, suggesting the presence of the GPI gene on the very proximal part of the q arm. The efficiency of hybridization was found to be affected by ultraviolet irradiation of metaphases for RBA-banding before hybridization. The irradiated metaphases had higher background grains than the non-irradiated metaphases.
