Dear Rachel,
About the cytological location for Ring:
The locations are approximately 98B and 99C as determined by chromosome
in situs with a dEST sequence LD 6636.
The EST probe definitely gave two bands. The 98B was very strong and the
99C just a little weaker. We quizzed the person who sequenced the probe
and concluded that it may represent a repetitive sequence rather than a
hybrid clone.
