Assignment of the human skeletal muscle alpha-tropomyosin gene (TPM1) to band 15q22 by fluorescence in situ hybridization

Cytogenet Cell Genet. 1995;69(1-2):15-7. doi: 10.1159/000133928.

Abstract

A sequence-tagged site (STS) was developed for the human skeletal muscle alpha-tropomyosin gene (TPM1) and used to isolate a genomic clone, lambda TPM1.1, containing part of the TPM1 gene. Fluorescence in situ hybridization of this clone to metaphase chromosome spreads localised TPM1 to chromosome band 15q22. This localisation in humans is consistent with that recently described for the mouse.
