✦ Synopsis

Over the past four years, the CEPH (Jean Dausset Foundation) has expanded its linkage mapping effort to include physical mapping and, in 1990, co-founded the Genethon to ensure that a combined physical and genetic map of the entire human genome would be achieved. The Genethon has applied methods developed at CEPH on an industrial scale to accomplish the colossal task of constructing an integrated map. It is the role of such an integrated map to accelerate the search for the genes responsible for inherited diseases, and the results of the past 12 months encourage our optimism that this goal will be realized rapidly. These discoveries are providing not only an approach to the diagnosis of genetically based disease but also some of the first breakthroughs in the area of gene therapy.

Cdk9, previously known as PITALRE, belongs to the Cdc2 family of protein kinases. We report the isolation and characterization of the complete gene coding for the murine Cdk9 protein. The gene contains seven exons spanning over 6 kb of genomic DNA, and the exon/intron boundaries conformed to the GT/
