Abstract excerpt
Using immunolocalization of the mismatch-repair protein MLH1 in oocytes and spermatocytes of the Japanese quail and the zebra finch, we estimated the average amount of recombination in each sex of both species. In each case the number of MLH1 foci is statistically equivalent in males and females and the resulting sex-averaged map lengths are 2800 cM in the Japanese quail and 2275 cM in the zebra finch. In the...
