TL;DR: A new dominant hybrid genetic marker, suitable for selection in higher eukaryotic cells, has been obtained by linking the promoter region of the Herpes simplex virus type I thymidine kinase gene to the gene coding for the aminoglycoside 3′ phosphotransferase coded for by the Tn5 transposon.

TL;DR: Differences between two near-isogenic lines often ascribed to the difference in genotype at the marker locus, may also be caused by genes linked to the marker gene and ‘dragged’ into the backcross product.
Abstract: The length was estimated of the chromosome segment with the desired marker gene introgressed from a donor by backcrossing into a recurrent parent. It was found that, for instance, for a chromosome with a length of 100 cM the length of the segment is 32 cM in BC6.
