Microsatellites markers for Tsn1

Tsn1 was first mapped to the long arm of chromosome 5B by Faris et al. (1), and high-resolution mapping was recently conducted by Haen et al. (5).

Tsn1 is currently the focus of a map-based cloning effort. During this process, we have developed several SSR markers tightly linked to the Tsn1 gene (Figure 1), which can be used for marker-assisted selection.

The markers Xfcp1 and Xfcp393 / Xfcp394 delimit a 0.4 cM interval including Tsn1. Marker. While Xfcp2 is about 0.4 cM (400 kb) distal to Xfcp394, and it may be useful if Xfcp393 and Xfcp394 fail to reveal polymorphisms.
