In total, 113 genes that have already been located in humans and goats were cytogenetically mapped in pigs. For this purpose, 165 gene-containing bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) isolated in goats were used in heterologous fluorescent in situ hybridization on porcine chromosomes. Among them, 113 (or 69%) gave clear and specific signals, and 52 did not work in heterologous conditions. These localizations are a significant contribution to development of the porcine gene map and also to the comparative map for humans and pigs. They allowed us to specify the information obtained by Zoo-FISH while taking the gene order into account; the number of conserved fragments detected for human and pig chromosomes reached 84. The average size of conserved fragments could be estimated at 33 cM. As these genes had already been mapped in goats, the comparison was extended to ruminants. The previous results obtained in this species, suggesting a correlation between human chromosome abnormalities and evolutionary breakpoints, were confirmed in pigs.
