Abstract
The linkage of the plasma protein (Gl-1) and hooded loci has been determined from backcross progeny of the initial crosses Long Evans/Orl×BN/Orl and Long Evans/Orl×Fatty/Orl. The two sets of data show a significant linkage heterogeneity with, respectively, 5.0±2.8 and 15.1±3.0 recombination. This is the fourth linkage of biochemical markers so far demonstrated in the rat.
