The gene map of the rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus L.)

Abstract
A preferential loss of rabbit chromosomes was observed in 20 independent rabbit/hamster hybrid clones. Sixteen of these clones were analyzed for the enzymatic markers known to be X-linked in many species: HPRT, G6PD, PGK, GLA. These markers were shown to be syntenic, and the genes coding for them were localized on the rabbit X chromosome.
