This study compared patterns of chromosome distribution among five bird species, through chromosomemapping of the CR1 sequence and reconstructed their phylogenetic tree.

The chromosomemapping of the chicken NRAMP1 gene is a first step in determining its possible role in differential susceptibility to salmonellosis in this species.

In addition to their value in chromosome walking for map-based cloning, YACs represent excellent probes for chromosomemapping using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).
