Genetic maps of the sheep blowfly Lucilia cuprina: linkage-group correlations with other dipteran genera.

Genome - 1 Jun 1993

Weller G L, Foster G G

Abstract excerpt

Linkage data and revised genetic maps for 72 autosomal loci in Lucilia cuprina are presented. Comparison of the linkage relationships of biochemically and morphologically similar mutations in Ceratitis capitata, Drosophila melanogaster, and Musca domestica supports the hypothesis that the major l...
