Phenotypes

Building on the mapping results of Kobayashi et al. (2000) (see Mapping section above), Hirano et al. (2000) did some further fine mapping, and then constructed a cosmid library of the fine-mapped region of BTA1, and then used the best cosmid clone as a probe of kidney cDNA from normal and affected animals, identifying a single cDNA, which, when sequenced, turned out to be the bovine paracellin-1 gene, which they called Claudin-16, and which l...
