The silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) is a lepidopteran insect with a long history of significant agricultural value. We have constructed the first amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) genetic linkage map of the silkworm B. mori at a LOD score of 2.5. The mapping AFLP markers were genotyped in 47 progeny from a backcross population of the cross no. 782 x od100. A total of 1248 (60.7%) polymorp...

The recognition of the blood group system called Dombrock was reported in 1965 by Swanson and her colleagues. In 1967 Tippett gave an account of the genetics of the system which included an analysis of the linkage relations of the Do locus to other blood group loci, based on families tested in the MRC Blood Group Unit up to April 1966. The present account brings the linkage analysis up to the e...

The temporal linkage of census data allows the detailed analysis of population-related changes in an area of interest. It should not only link records about the same person but also support the linkage of groups of related persons such as households. In this paper, we thus propose a new approach to both temporal record and group (household) linkage for census data and study its application for ...

BACKGROUND A linkage map consisting of 24 linkage groups has been constructed using simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers in Nicotiana tabacum. However, chromosomal assignments of all linkage groups have not yet been made. The Q chromosome in N. tabacum encodes a gene or genes triggering hybrid lethality, a phenomenon that causes death of hybrids derived from some crosses. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPA...

paper presents linkage data from crosses with markers in linkage group Ty", Neurospora cicrssa (Group E of HOULAHAN, BEADLE and CALHOUN 1949). Several new markers are reported, and the map relations of a number of other genes are clarified. Many of these data were obtained in the course of an investigation of interference ( STRICKLAND unpublished). Certain of the new markers are in positions wh...
