Abstract excerpt
Polydactyly (Po) is a common mutation found in many vertebrates. The UCD-Po.003 congenic chicken line was previously characterized for Po inheritance (autosomal dominant) and the mutation was mapped to chromosome 2p. Here, we describe for the first time the range and variability of the phenotype in this congenic line. Further, we studied the hypothesis that a chromosomal inversion was responsible for the...
