Figure 1
Example of a chicken BAC contig anchored to the chromosome 1 genetic map of the chicken genome. This contig consists of 142 clones from three source BAC libraries, contains 903 unique fingerprint bands, and is estimated to span 4.01 Mb. The clones prefixed with “h” were from the HindIII BAC library, with “b” from the BamHI BAC library, and with “r” from the EcoRI BAC library. The contig was anchored to the region around 361 cM of the chromosome 1 genetic map using five DNA markers, MSU0301, ADL0037, GCT0013, GCT0033, and ROS0081 (Groenen et al. 2000). The highlighted clones indicate the positive clones identified by DNA marker hybridization.
