Abstract
Coincidence cloning is a technique that permits the isolation of sequences common to two independent sources of complex DNA, and this method has been used to isolate a set of probes from a region of porcine Chromosome (Chr) 6 containing the loci for glucosephosphate isomerase (GPI) and the skeletal muscle calcium release channel (CRC). Porcine DNA was specifically PCR-amplified from a pigxhamster hybrid cell line containing the centromere region (p1.2–q1.2) of pig Chr 6 and other pig chromosome fragments by use of a porcine SINE specific primer with an EcoRI site in the 5′-end. Flow-sorted Chr 6 preparations were amplified with the same SINE primer, but with a SalI site in the 5′-end. The products were digested with EcoRI and SalI respectively, combined, denatured, and reannealed. The heteroduplex molecules, containing both an EcoRI and a SalI cohensive end, were selected by cloning in SalI/EcoRI-digested pUC13. Approximately 40% of the primary clones contained a single SalI/EcoRI-insert, indicating that they are coincidence clones. The average insert size was 1.4 kb. Fluorescence in situ hybridization of a pool of 34 coincidence clones to pig chromosomes showed a preferential labeling of the centromere region and of the q2.5–q2.7 region of pig Chr 6. Nineteen coincidence clones were hybridized to SINE-PCR products from flow-sorted pig Chr 6 and to pigxrodent hybrid cell lines. Eighteen clones gave positive signals correlated with the GPI/CRC content of the source DNAs.
