A male chicken heterozygous for a gene for sex-linked imperfect albinism (s(al)-c) was used to produce offspring in five dam families. The DNA from 23 offspring (22 females and 1 male) was cut with the restriction enzyme Sac1 and hybridized with a Rous-Associated Virus-2 probe to test for linkage between the gene and endogenous viral (ev) genes. In a second experiment, 15 albino and 15 nonalbino females resulting...
