A linkage map of the Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) genome was constructed based
upon segregation analysis of 72 microsatellite loci in 433 F2 progeny of 10 half‐sib families …

In line with the Gifu University's initiative to map the Japanese quail genome, a total of 100
Japanese quail microsatellite markers isolated in our laboratory were evaluated in a …

A Japanese quail genomic library enriched for (CA/GT) n simple sequence was screened
and positive clones were sequenced. Fifty original microsatellite sequences were isolated …

Forty‐eight primer pairs for chicken (Gallus gallus) microsatellite loci were tested in
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) …

Background By comparing the quail genome with that of chicken, chromosome
rearrangements that have occurred in these two galliform species over 35 million years of …

Genetic relationships among Japanese native breeds of chickens were studied on the basis
of microsatellite DNA polymorphisms. DNA samples from 10 Japanese native breeds (Iwate …

Two chicken genomic libraries were screened for the presence of poly (TG/AC)
microsatellite tracts. The number of positive clones was low, confirming the low frequency of …

A comprehensive linkage map of the chicken genome has been developed by segregation
analysis of 430 microsatellite markers within a cross between two extreme broiler lines. The …

The present study was conducted to evaluate the genetic diversity and relationships of 9
native Japanese long-tailed chicken breeds (Shoukoku, Koeyoshi, Kurokashiwa, Minohiki …

The total number of microsatellite loci is considered to be at least 10‐fold lower in avian
species than in mammalian species. Therefore, efficient large‐scale cloning of chicken …
