Abstract:
A 34-kb restriction endonuclease map of the region associated with an endogenous virus integration site and K, the gene that confers sex-linked late-feathering (LF) in chickens, is presented. Hybridizations of genomic blots of DNA from early-feathering and LF White Leghorns indicated that the region also contains additional repetitive elements upstream from a chicken repetitive (CR1) element. This extended map and the probes described should be useful in identifying the molecular alterations associated with this locus.
