Of the nine known members of a human paired box-containing gene family (Pax), only PAX4 has not been precisely localized. We screened a cosmid library of human genomic DNA using polymerase chain reaction products for PAX4 as a probe and isolated three positive cosmid clones. Sequence analysis revealed that at least two of them had exon-like sequences and showed extensive homology to Pax-4 in the mouse. These two cosmid clones were mapped to human chromosome band 7q32 by fluorescence in situ hybridization.
在人类含配对盒基因家族(Pax)已知的9个成员中,只有PAX4尚未精确定位。我们以PAX4的聚合酶链反应产物为探针,筛选了人类基因组DNA的黏粒文库,分离出3个阳性黏粒克隆。序列分析显示,其中至少有两个含有外显子样序列,并且与小鼠的Pax - 4具有广泛的同源性。通过荧光原位杂交,将这两个黏粒克隆定位于人类染色体7q32带。
