K. Ladjali-mohammedi et al., International System for Standardized Avian Karyotypes (ISSAK): standardized banded karyotypes of the domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus), CYTOG C GEN, 86(3-4), 1999, pp. 271-276
The chicken genetic map is becoming very de tailed. The genetic and physica
l maps need to be integrated in more detail. It is important to have a cons
ensus banded karo-type to permit this integration. An international committ
ee met to develop a karyotype for the eight largest chromosomes and the Z a
nd W chromosomes of the domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus). This map is pres
ented in this report.
