A Male-specific Linkage Map of Bovine Chromosome 6

Comprehensive linkage map of bovine chromosome 27.

The results of genotypic data contributed to the International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) Bovine Chromosome 27 Workshop are presented. Eight laboratories contributed 23 261 informative meioses from 44 loci. Eighteen loci were typed by at least two laboratories and were used to construct a consensus linkage map. Twenty-one loci were subsequently incorporated into a comprehensive map. The...

A first-generation metric linkage disequilibrium map of bovine chromosome 6.

We constructed a metric linkage disequilibrium (LD) map of bovine chromosome 6 (BTA6) on the basis of data from 220 SNPs genotyped on 433 Australian dairy bulls. This metric LD map has distances in LD units (LDUs) that are analogous to centimorgans in linkage maps. The LD map of BTA6 has a total length of 8.9 LDUs. Within the LD map, regions of high LD (represented as blocks) and regions of low...

A linkage disequilibrium map of chromosome 22

A linkage map of the ovine X chromosome.

A genetic linkage map of the ovine X chromosome containing type I and type II markers has been constructed. The map contains 7 known gene markers and 14 microsatellite markers with a recombination length of 141.9 cM. Segregation of polymorphic markers was observed in a three-generation pedigree containing 480 animals. The maximum number of informative meioses was 912. Additional information was...

A genetic linkage map of the male goat genome.

This paper presents a first genetic linkage map of the goat genome. Primers derived from the flanking sequences of 612 bovine, ovine and goat microsatellite markers were gathered and tested for amplification with goat DNA under standardized PCR conditions. This screen made it possible to choose a set of 55 polymorphic markers that can be used in the three species and to define a panel of 223 mi...
