Description

This is the Davis Human/Mouse Homology Map, a table comparing genes in homologous segments of DNA from human and mouse sources, sorted by position in each genome. A total of 1793 loci are presented, most of which are genes. The authors did not include pseudogenes, members of multigene families where specific homology relationships could not be determined, nor any other genes for which homology was in doubt. In addition, for 568 of the loci there are provisional assignments of markers that link the homology map with that of the Gene Map of the Human Genome. These links also provide a rough approximation of the position of markers in the Genethon linkage map. In constructing this table, the authors first ordered genes so as to best maintain order according to both human cytogenetic position and mouse genetic map position. Within these homologous regions, genes were ordered according to the mouse genetic mapping data. For approximately half of the genes in this database, no more detailed information is available; thus, much of this map should be interpreted as a reflection of probable, not confirmed, homology relationships. Where more detailed information was to be found, the authors adjusted the map to correspond to available human physical mapping data, which they consider to be definitive. The present rendition contains 201 homology groupings.

The previous edition of this table was originally published as

DeBry, R. W. and M. F. Seldin. 1996. Human/mouse homology relationships. Genomics 33, 337-351.

Most of the human genetic map data in this resource is taken from the CHLC WWW site, while some data for hChr14 and hChr22 are from Cox et al. ( Genomics 23: 331-7, 1994; and Cytogenet Cell Genet 69:175-8, 1995) and Collins et al. ( Nature 377:367-9, 1995).

More detailed data for human physical mapping were obtained from the numerous human chromosome committee reports, as well as various electronic data repositories.

For Mouse chromosome positions, most of the information was originally compiled in the Mouse Chromosome Committee Reports and the Mouse Genome Database at the Jackson Laboratory.
