Abstract excerpt
We have used backcross progeny from a cross between two inbred lines of chickens to construct a linkage map of the chicken. The map currently consists of 100 loci, identified using either anonymous cloned fragments of genomic DNA or sequences corresponding to cloned genes. Parent birds were derived from two lines of White Leghorn chickens, which differ in susceptibility to a number of diseases. Restriction...
