Popis: A single locus (designated c-fes) in the human genome which exhibits homology to the transformation-specific onc gene (v-fes) of Snyder-Theilen feline sarcoma virus was identified by the Southern blot technique. Recombinant clones containing 16- to 18-kilobase inserts of human DNA including the c-fes locus were constructed. Restriction endonuclease mapping of these clones verified their identity with native human c-fes and demonstrated the presence of at least two sequences in human c-fes interrupting v-fes-homologous regions. The v-fes-homologous locus in the human genome spans about 4 kilobases. The 5'-3' orientation of the c-fes clones with respect to feline sarcoma virus proviral DNA was determined. The region of the human genome that is homologous to v-fes is proximal to the highly reiterated human Alu sequence but not to the highly reiterated human alphoid sequence.
