Received April 26, 1984. Accepted May 31, 1984.

We have mapped the genes coding for two major structural polypeptides of the vaccinia virus core by hybrid selection and transcriptional mapping. First, RNA was selected by hybridization to restriction fragments of the vaccinia virus genome, translated in vitro and the products were immunoprecipitated with antibodies against the two polypeptides. This approach allowed us to map the genes to the left hand end of the largest Hind III restriction fragment of 50 kilobase pairs. Second, transcriptional mapping of this region of the genome revealed the presence of the two expected RNAs. Both RNAs are transcribed from the leftward reading strand and the 5'-ends of the genes are separated by about 7.5 kilobase pairs of DNA. Thus, two genes encoding structural polypeptides with a similar location in the vaccinia virus particle are clustered at approximately 105 kilobase pairs from the left hand end of the 180 kilobase pair vaccinia virus genome.
