Shankless, a new mutation on chromosome 2 in the chicken.

The Journal of heredity - 1 Jan 2000

Langhorst L J, Fechheimer N S

Abstract excerpt

A mutant condition characterized by absence of shanks is invariably present in chickens that are homokaryotypic for an X-ray-induced pericentric inversion to chromosome 2. The mutation was studied in 260 embryos at 19 days of incubation. Embryos produced from matings of parents with and without the inversion were karyotyped and their skeletons observed and measured. The mutant phenotype, which was seen in all...
