Abstract
We have characterized a collection of zebrafish/mouse somatic cell hybrids with 211 genes and markers chosen from the 25 zebrafish linkage groups. Most of the zebrafish genome is represented in this collection with 88% of genes/markers present in at least one hybrid cell line. Although most hybrids contain chromosomal fragments, there are a few instances where a complete or nearly complete zebrafish chromosome has been maintained in a mouse background, based on multiple markers covering the entire chromosome. In addition to their use in mapping studies, this collection of somatic cell hybrids should constitute an important tool as a source of specific chromosome fragments and for assessing the function of genome regions.
