鸡基因组研究进展

Progress on The Chicken Genome Project

随着人类基因组计划实施而开展的动物基因组计划受到了科学界和各国政府的支持 .无论是作为一种实验用模式生物 ,还是作为一种农业经济动物 ,鸡都有着独特的生物学特性和经济学价值 ,因此 ,开展鸡基因组研究是十分有意义的 .综述了近年来鸡基因组研究 (包括鸡基因组的有关参数、遗传连锁图、物理图谱、比较定位、表达序列标签和数量性状座位定位等方面 )

With the development of the human genome project, the chicken genome research has made great progress and has significant impact on both animal breeding and basic biological research. The current development of the chicken genome research was reviewed in including the parameter of chicken genome, genetic linkage map, physical map, comparative genome map, expression sequence tag (EST) and identification of quantitative trait laci (QTL) in chicken and the future prospect of the chicken genome research was also discussed.
