Abstract

The mesoderm development (mesd) functional interval is essential for primitive streak formation and mesoderm induction. Mesd is defined by overlapping albino (c) deletions on chromosome 7. We have constructed a bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) contig that spans the mesd functional region. BAC end-sequence identifies three segments that recognize novel expressed sequences. Localization of the proximal breakpoints from Del(7)Tyr(c-3YPSd) and Del(7)Tyr(c-112K) within the contig defines a deletion interval of 310-350 kb that is essential for mesd function. Importantly, using BAC transgene rescue, we define a 75-kb mesd critical region containing at least one expressed sequence. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
