Alignment of two genetic linkage maps on porcine chromosome 13

William A. Davies, Bjørn Høyheim, Susan Skogtvedt

Abstract

A set of four microsatellite markers from the USDA genetic linkage map of porcine chromosome 13 were mapped in the European Pig Gene Mapping Project (PiGMaP) reference pedigrees. A two-point linkage analysis was performed between these markers and a set of markers known to map to chromosome 13. Pairs of markers that had a lod score greater than three were used to construct a multi-point linkage map, permitting alignment of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) map to the PiGMaP.
