Comparative linkage analysis of North American and European Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and detection of quantitative trait loci for body weight and condition factor
I constructed genetic linkage maps for North American (NA: New Brunswick) Atlantic salmon ('Salmo salar') and compared them to those of European fish (EU: Scotland). I used 91 microsatellite loci on 16 linkage groups to compare marker arrangement in three NA full-sib families. The NA fish...
