Thorgaard Lab
Washington State
University
The Oregon State University
(OSU) and Arlee (ARL) clonal lines produced at Washington State University were
initially used for a linkage mapping project published by Young et al.
(1998). The initial map was
characterized primarily by Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphic (AFLP)
markers. This mapping panel consists of
78 individuals. With the collaboration
of a number of other laboratories in North America, there are more than 1300
markers now on the map, including AFLP, allozyme, microsatellite, and known
gene markers. The updated map has
consolidated previously published rainbow trout maps most notably with the
addition of microsatellite loci from Sakamoto et al. (2000) and a few
known gene and allozyme markers. The
linkage map update was published in Animal Genetics in 2003.
The following data are
