Cy5). Points above the midline represent signals in the Cy3 range; points below the midline represent signals in the Cy5 range. The results indicate failure of hybridization for the MGA9 chromosome paint but successful hybridization for the other three. All results are consistent with centromeric breakpoint/fusion points.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Whole genome comparative studies between chicken and turkey and their implications for avian genome evolution"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/9/168</p><p>BMC Genomics 2008;9():168-168.</p><p>Published online 14 Apr 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2375447.</p><p></p

3 and 6 (MGA3+6). b – Chicken chromosome 3 (GGA3) and turkey chromosome 2 (MGA2). c – Chicken chromosome 8 (GGA8) and turkey chromosome 10 (MGA10). The hybridization positions of BACs were determined by measuring the fractional length of the signal position from the p-terminus (see Methods).<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Whole genome comparative studies between chicken and turkey and their implications for avian genome evolution"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2164/9/168</p><p>BMC Genomics 2008;9():168-168.</p><p>Published online 14 Apr 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2375447.</p><p></p
