For a variety of reasons, we have been doing a lot of mapping in the lin-15 -10 interval on the right arm of X. This mapping has identified errors in the previously published map positions of several genes. Since it will be several months before the 1989 issue of the map is ready, and since we have already received four separate requests for our revised map from people that are cloning genes in the region, we felt it would be expedient to include it here. The genes shown on the map have all been ordered by three-factor crosses (the data will be available in the CGC map data update). Only genes that were used in these mapping experiments are shown. osm-1 is placed above the line because it has been mapped to the left of sup-10 but has not been ordered with respect to mec-4 or let-2. The distance of 0.8 m. u. between lin-15 and sup-10 is based on 2-factor data; other distances are interpolated from 3-factor data. The hole in mnDp8 is inferred from the fact that although let-2 clearly maps to the left of mec-4, nts lin-15, osm-1, and mec-4, but NOT let-2 or sup-10.TCMEC4A and TCMEC4B are Tc1 polymorphisms mapped by Monica Driscoll. By three- factor mapping, TCMEC4A maps between let-2 and mec-4 and TCMEC4B maps either very close to or to the right of mec-4. Subsequently, TCMEC4A, sup-10, and TCMEC4B were joined on a single contig. By combining genetic and physical data, we can thus orient the contig with respect to the genetic map and place TCMEC4B to the right of sup-10.[See Figure 1]
