摘要
We report the unprecedented finding of a gene with a different map position in two mouse strains. The Clcn4 gene was found to map to the X chromosome in the wild Mediterrean mouse, Mus spretus but to chromosome 7 in the inbred strain of laboratory mouse C57BL/6J. These data indicate that a recent evolutionary rearrangement occurred on the mouse sex chromosomes, very close to the pseudoautosomal region, Our data provide molecular evidence for a major divergence near the pseudoautosomal region, consistent with the hypothesis that hybrid sterility in these species results from abnormal pairing of sex chromosomes during male meiosis.
