The length of the intact donor chromosome segment around a target gene in marker-assisted backcrossing.
Genetics - 1 Mar 2001
Frisch M, Melchinger A E
Abstract excerpt
Recurrent backcrossing is an established procedure to transfer target genes from a donor into the genetic background of a recipient genotype. By assessing the parental origin of alleles at markers flanking the target locus one can select individuals with a short intact donor chromosome segment around the target gene and thus reduce the linkage drag. We investigated the probability distribution of the length of...
