title: Mapping of the gene for G blood group antigens to chromosome 15 in swine.
abstract: Linkage analysis between size variants of the centromeric region of chromosome 15 and G blood group alleles produced a lod score of 5.03. The maximum likelihood estimate of the recombination fraction is theta = 0.24 with a 95% confidence interval of 0.08 less than theta less than 0.40. Since this is the second time that linkage between a chromosome 15 marker and the G blood group locus has been shown, the assignment of the G blood group locus to chromosome 15 is confirmed.
