    Abstract:
    The growth hormone gene locus (GH) of cattle and sheep was mapped to a chromosomal region in each species by using in situ hybridization. The probe employed was an 830-bp cDNA sequence from the ovine growth hormone gene. Based on QFQ chromosome preparations, our results show that the GH locus is on cattle chromosome 19 in the region of bands q26-qter and in sheep on chromosome region 11q25-qter. The GH assignments together with previous localizations of type I cytokeratin genes (KRTA) and one homeobox (HOX2) gene in cattle and one type I cytokeratin gene (KRTA) in sheep identify a strongly conserved chromosomal segment on human chromosome 17, bovine chromosome 19, and sheep chromosome 11.
