However specific PCR systems were not available for each marker gene thus preventing the assignment of part of these markers by somatic cell hybrid analysis. In addition some difficulties remained with the nomenclature of BTA25 BTA27 and BTA29. In this work specific PCR systems were developed for each of the marker genes except VIL1 see results from either existing bovine or human sequences and a bovine BAC library was screened to obtain the corresponding BAC clones. These PCR systems were used successfully to confirm the assignment of each marker gene except for LDHA see results by analysis on the INRA hamster-bovine somatic cell hybrid panel. The difficulties observed for LDHA and VIL1 are probably due to the fact that these genes belong to large gene families and therefore suggest that they may not be the most appropriate markers for a standardisation effort. This panel of BACs is available to the scientific community and has served as a basis for the establishment of a revised standard nomenclature of bovine chromosomes. bovine BAC library cytogenetics mapping Texas standard 1. introduction The cattle genome is composed of 29 autosome pairs and two sex chromosomes. While X and Y chromosomes are submetacentric all autosomes are acrocentric and with
