Abstract
Reciprocal crosses and backcrosses were conducted between inbred Rhode Island Red and White Leghorn chickens differentiated for egg producti on and egg quality traits. Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) mar kers distinguishing inbred lines were detected. Twenty-two polymorphic bands were found from screening 120 single 10-mer random primers of w hich two were consistent with sex-linked markers. Of 90 pairwise two-p oint linkage analyses completed for the autosomal markers, four close linkages (8.2 cM to 14.9 cM) were significantly different from zero.
