Cytogenetic location: 7p15 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 7:20,900,001-28,800,000
Morton and Robertson (1991) used a 28-base oligonucleotide synthesized from the sequence in the second exon of MYC (190080) to isolate an 8.8-kb EcoRI fragment from a human genomic library. Sequence analysis showed a region with 85% identity to the 28-base oligonucleotide of MYC. An open reading frame of 207 nucleotides was found containing the region of homology.
By in situ hybridization, Morton and Robertson (1991) localized the MYCLK gene to chromosome 7. By chromosomal in situ hybridization, Robertson and Morton (1992) regionalized the gene to 7p15.
