Abstract

Complementary DNA clones representing the 3' half, the 5' half, and the entire coding region of the human terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase gene (TdT; DNA nucleotidylexotransferase, nucleosidetriphosphate: DNA deoxynucleotidylexotransferase, EC 2.7.7.31) were used to screen a panel of mouse X human somatic cell hybrid DNAs to determine the chromosomal location of the human TdT gene. The results of the Southern transfer analysis of hybrid DNAs indicate that the gene for TdT is located on human chromosome 10. The in situ hybridization technique was then used to further localize the gene for TdT to region q23-q25 of human chromosome 10.
