Mutations in the structural genes for triosephosphate isomerase and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in the mouse, selected after mutagen treatment, were used to estimate the map distance between the two loci. It is shown that Tpi-1 and Gapd are closely linked on chromosome 6, with a recombination frequency of 0·1±0·1%.
