We report the highest density genetic linkage map for a livestock species produced to date.
Three published maps for Sus scrofa were merged by genotyping virtually every publicly …

The biology of cells of the mononuclear phagocyte system has been studied extensively in
the mouse. Studies of the pig as an experimental model have commonly been consigned to …

The domestic pig originates from the Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa). We have sequenced
mitochondrial DNA and nuclear genes from wild and domestic pigs from Asia and Europe …

A number of molecular genetic maps of the soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] have been
developed over the past 10 yr. These maps are primarily based on restriction fragment …

Of the nonprimate mammalian species with developing comparative gene maps, the feline
gene map (Felis catus, Order Carnivora, 2N= 38) displays the highest level of syntenic …

Identification of individual major genes affecting quantitative traits in livestock species has
been limited to date. By using a candidate gene approach and a divergent breed cross …

We report a bovine linkage map constructed with 1236 polymorphic DNA markers and 14
erythrocyte antigens and serum proteins. The 2990-cM map consists of a sex-specific, X …

We constructed a genetic linkage map for a tetraploid derivative species, the rainbow trout
(Oncorhynchus mykiss), using 191 microsatellite, 3 RAPD, 7 ESMP, and 7 allozyme markers …

A set of eleven pig breeds originating from six European countries, and including a small
sample of wild pigs, was chosen for this study of genetic diversity. Diversity was evaluated …

Why the autosomal recombination rate differs between female and male meiosis in most
species has been a genetic enigma since the early study of meiosis. Some hypotheses have …
