The results of genotypic data contributed to the International Society of A
nimal Genetics (ISAG) Bovine Chromosome 11 (BTA11) Workshop are presented.
Six laboratories contributed a total of 26 199 informative meioses from 80
loci. Thirty-six loci were typed by at least two independent laboratories a
nd were used to construct a consensus linkage map of the chromosome. The re
maining loci were subsequently incorporated into a comprehensive map. The s
ex-averaged consensus map covered 128.9 cM, The female consensus map was 10
1.2 cM. while the male consensus map was 129.8 cM. The comprehensive sex-av
eraged map was 134.2 cM and the average genetic distance between loci was 1
.72 cM.
