Mapping the genes for arylamine N-acetyltransferases by Fakis, G

“…A fine restriction map was generated for the <em>Nat1</em> and <em>Nat2</em> genomic region in mice, using <em>Nat</em>-positive genomic DNA plasmid clones previously isolated from the fast acetylator Balb/c and 129/Ola strains. The <em>Nat1</em> and <em>Nat2</em> genes were mapped 9.4kb apart and no polymorphisms were detected between the two strains for the restriction enzymes used for mapping (Chapter 4). …”
