title: Linkage between two blood-group markers in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta).
abstract: Using marker data on an extensive pedigreed population from the Wisconsin Regional Primate Research Center, we report the first genetic linkage in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). Five blood-group markers (G, I, J, K, and Q) and one serum protein marker (transferrin) were analyzed. Linkage analyses indicate the existence of loose linkage between G and Q (maximum lod score, Zmax = 4.84 at theta m = 0.314 +/- 0.38, theta f = 0.266 +/- 0.054). The genetic linkage described here constitutes the initial step toward the description of a genetic map in this species.
