Summary
In 1995, Vaiman et al. designed conserved primers from mouse and human sequence data, and successfully amplified a 150-bp fragment of the homologous gene in cattle, sheep and pig, which includes a dinucleotide (TG) microsatellite. Exploiting the polymorphism of the microsatellite, they were able to map the Wilms tumour gene to cattle chromosoem 15, between FSHB and NCAM, and possible near HBB.
