A GENETIC MAP OF DICTYOSTELIUM DISCOIDEUM BASED ON MITOTIC RECOMBINATION

A genetic map of the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum is presented in which 42 loci are ordered on five of the seven linkage groups. Although most of the loci were ordered using standing mitotic crossing-over techniques in which recessive selective markers were employed, use was also made of unselected recombined haploid strains. Consistent with cytological studies in which the chromosomes appear to be acrocentric, only a single arm has been found for each of the five linkage groups studied. The mating-type locus, matA, has been located in the tsgE-sprA interval on linkage group I on the basis of studies on diploids formed between strains of opposite mating type that have escaped from vegetative incompatibility.
