Abstract
We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a 12·8 kb fragment from the left arm of chromosome XIV carried by the cosmid 14-16d. An analysis of the sequence reveals the presence of a sigma element, a pro-tRNA gene and eight open reading frames, six of which are complete. All of the eight open reading frames correspond to new genes. Of the eight new genes, two show strong similarities to a pair of new genes from chromosome IX, suggesting an ancestral duplication, and one gene encodes a protein similar to mammalian leukotriene A4 hydrolase. The sequence has been deposited in the EMBL data bank under the Accession Number X94547.
