Abstract

The chromosomal distributions of five families of mouse r-protein genes (S16, L18, L19, L30 and L32/33) were studied by Southern blot analysis of DNA from a panel of mouse-hamster hybrid cells containing various complements of mouse chromosomes. Our results indicated that members of a particular family are often located on more than one chromosome, that extensive clustering of many r-protein gene families on a few chromosomes is unlikely, and that there is no obligatory linkage of r-protein and rRNA genes.
