Summary
41 genes of SPP1 have been delineated by using complementation analyses of 75 conditionally lethal (ts and sus) mutations. The physical locations of these genes on the SPP1 chromosome have been determined by transfection/marker rescue experiments in which restriction endonuclease generated fragments of SPP1 DNA were used as donor DNA. The physical order of these fragments has been previously established (Ratcliff et al., 1979).
