Genetic mapping of gdf7 and contact. (A) A RFLP was identified for gdf7 by the restriction endonucleaseTaq1. SSCP analysis was used to detect a polymorphism in thecontact gene. Below each panel are the genotypes (M, maternal allele; P, paternal allele; O, missing data) of eight selected F2 progeny (numbers 80–87) from the mapping panel. (B) Genetic maps of LG17 and LG6 showing the location ofgdf7 and contact. Cloned genes are written in italics, microsatellite markers begin with z or gof and RAPD markers begin with a number (Postlethwait et al. 1994; Knapik et al. 1996,1998; Postlethwait et al. 1998).
