Abstract excerpt
Wild populations of passerine birds have frequently been used in studies of ecology and evolution. However, the majority of species lack genetic linkage maps. The completion of a model avian genome sequence (the jungle fowl, Gallus gallus) has created an opportunity to advance genetic knowledge of other birds. Here we constructed genetic linkage maps of the homologue of chicken chromosome 7 for two passerine...
