β¦ Synopsis
The human recombination activating gene 1 (RAG1) has previously been mapped to chromosomes 14q and 11p. Here we confirm the chromosome 11 assignment by two independent approaches: autoradiographic and fluorescence in situ hybridization to metaphase spreads and analysis of human-hamster somatic cell hybrid DNA by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Southern blotting. Our results unequivocally localize RAG1 to 11p13.

Spi1 is an oncogene specifically activated in acute murine erythroleukemias induced by the Friend spleen focus forming virus (SFFV). Three probes were used for the chromosomal assignment of the human SPI1 oncogene: cDb1 and RaB2 correspond respectively to murine Spi1 and human SPI1 cDNA probes; C45a
