Abstract excerpt
The guppy is an ornamental fish species that exhibits various phenotypic characteristics, such as body color and fin-shape. Although linkage relationships of a limited number of phenotypic traits have already been investigated, the association between phenotypic and molecular markers is still unknown. We constructed a total of 35 linkage groups for the guppy using 186 polymorphic loci of AFLP and microsatellite...
