Summary The Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) is a notably valuable egg and meat
producer but has also been used as a laboratory animal. In the present study, we …

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 …

The objective of this work was to develop polymorphic microsatellite markers derived from
Japanese quail embryonic and cardiac cDNA libraries and to locate these markers on Kobe …

Chromosome homology is highly conserved between chicken (Gallus gallus) and Japanese
quail (Coturnix japonica) and a few chromosome rearrangements occurred in the evolution …

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 …

In order to develop a comparative map between chicken and quail, we identified
orthologous gene markers based on chicken genomic sequences and localized them on the …

The objective of this work was to map classical markers (plumage colours and blood
proteins) on the microsatellite linkage map of the Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). The …

The quail is a valuable farm and laboratory animal. Yet molecular information about this
species remains scarce. We present here the first genetic linkage map of the Japanese …

Domestic fowl or chicken (Gallus gallus) and Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica) belong to
the family Phasianidae. The exchange of marker information between chicken and quail is …

This study was carried out to construct mapping population and to evaluate the methods
involved, including polymorphic DNA marker system and appropriate statistical analysis. As …
