[A linkage map of mirosatellite on chromosome 1 in Liangshan semi-wool sheep].

The 9 microsatellite markers on Chromosomes 1 were used to construct a linkage map of Liangshan semi-wool sheep with a 387 members half-sib pedigrees after paternity testing. The results were as follows: the number of alleles for 9 markers was from 5 to 15; the heterozygosity was from 0.202 to 0.831, the average heterozygosity was 0.617 and the polymorphic information content (PIC) was 0.604. Length of the linkage map of chromosome 1 we built was 311.0 cM which is in consistent with the sheep linkage map of USDA and IMF, and can be used in Quantitative Trait Loci searching in Liangshan semi-wool sheep.
