Summary
A large amount of genetic mapping information has been obtained in the chicken from the East Lansing, Compton and Wageningen reference populations. Physical mapping information has however, been more limited. We have mapped 14 new clones, both genetically and physically, and all 14 have been assigned to macrochromosomes. The orientation of linkage groups E01C01C11W01 (Chr 1), E06C02W02 (Chr 2), E02C03W03 (Chr 3), E05C04W04 (Chr 4), E07E34C05W05 (Chr 5), E11C10W06 (Chr 6), E45C07W07 (Chr 7) and E43C12W11 (Chr 8) has been established. Here we present integrated maps of the eight macrochromosomes and the Z chromosome of the chicken and correlate genetic with physical distances for chromosomes 1β3 and the Z sex chromosome.

Currently available genetic maps differ in a variety of basic features; in particular, with respect to the total length of the genome. Consequently, the question arises as to the extent to which genetic maps are compatible to each other, as well as to the methods with which genetic maps can be trans
As an approach to integrate the chicken genetic and cytogenetic maps, bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) and P1βderived artificial chromosome (PAC) clones were localized by fluorescence __in situ__ hybridization (FISH) on chromosomes and by genetic mapping on the East Lansing and Compton referenc
