Physical Map of the chicken: an update

Chicken genome mapping efforts are underway in several laboratories in the USA, EC and Israel, and data is accumulating at a faster pace than ever before. The need to integrate the physical, classical and genetic linkage maps has become more apparent as a means of better organizing the data. The information presented here rams at facilitating this process, and to submit this data for your examination and comment.
