M. VAN OERS, JAN A. STRIJK, JAN J. VAN DER POEL, MARTIEN A. M. GROENEN] Microsatellite polymorphisms are finding increasing use in genetics. The objectives of this study were 1) to enlarge the number of markers to contribute to a well-defined linkage map of the chicken genome; and 2) to create a preliminary linkage map only based on microsatellite markers. The need for microsatellite markers is high for performing a whole genome scan for the identification of quantitative trait loci. Seventy-seven newly developed microsatellite markers that were polymorphic on either one or both of the reference populations were mapped and in combination with all previously described markers, used to construct a preliminary linkage map of the chicken genome. The 128 microsatellite markers mapped thus far cover 23 of the 38 linkage groups of the East Lansing reference population. In the case of the Compton reference population, 20 linkage groups out of 40 are covered with microsatellite markers. No linkage was found in the East Lansing population with five markers, and in the case of the Compton population four markers were unlinked. About 42 and 32% of the East Lansing and Compton maps, respectively, were covered by the 128 microsatellite markers. The microsatellite markers are well dispersed among the various linkage groups and there was no evidence for clustering of the markers within the map. With the 38 markers that were mapped on both reference populations, 10 of the East Lansing linkage groups could be associated with 13 of the Compton linkage groups. © 1996 Poultry Science Association, Inc.
