The acrosin gene (ACR) has been assigned to the terminal region of swine chromosome 5 p‐arm, p15, by fluorescence in situ hybridization 1. The aconitase gene (ACO2) was assumed to map to the p telomeric region of chromosome 5, on the basis of its position in linkage map 1,2. In order to explore the arrangement of ACO2 and ACR on the chromosome and in the linkage map, we have molecularly cloned porcine genomic fragments containing at least a part of the ACO2 and ACR genes.
