Mutations at the nude locus disrupt the homing process of T cell progenitor cells to the thymic rudiment, a key aspect of T cell differentiation. Here, we map the nude locus to a set of overlapping yeast artificial chromosomes (YAC) clones covering a genetic interval of about 0.5 centi Morgan on mouse chromosome 11. These results provide a suitable starting point to molecularly clone the nude gene.
