RésuméLa génomique de la volaille a bénéficié des avancements technologiques rapides acquis en génomique humaine et sur les organismes modèles. Certains outils et certains approches sont maintenant bien établis chez le poulet, y compris les cartes et marqueurs (génétiques comme physiques), mapping loci pour caractéres quantitatifs, mapping comparative, ressources expressed sequence tag et bacterial artificial chromosome, et mapping physique. De plus, la phase suivante de la découverte génétique, la génomique fonctionnelle, est en cours. Les progre`s dans le mapping de loci pour caracte`res quantitatifs de croissance et d'adiposité seront discutés pour illustrer ces nouvelles technologies et ces nouvelles approches dans l'étude de la génétique et de la physiologie avicole.

Fifty-four different sugarcane resistance gene analogue (RGA) sequences were isolated, characterized, and used to identify molecular markers linked to major disease-resistance loci in sugarcane. Ten RGAs were identified from a sugarcane stem expressed sequence tag (EST) library; the remaining 44 were isolated from sugarcane stem, leaf, and root tissue using primers designed to conserved RGA motifs. The map location of 31 of the RGAs was determined in sugarcane and compared with the location of quantitative trait loci (QTL) for brown rust resistance. After 2 years of phenotyping, 3 RGAs were shown to generate markers that were significantly associated with resistance to this disease. To assist in the understanding of the complex genetic structure of sugarcane, 17 of the 31 RGAs were also mapped in sorghum. Comparative mapping between sugarcane and sorghum revealed syntenic localization of several RGA clusters. The 3 brown rust associated RGAs were shown to map to the same linkage group (LG) in sorghum with 2 mapping to one region and the third to a region previously shown to contain a major rust-resistance QTL in sorghum. These results illustrate the value of using RGAs for the identification of markers linked to disease resistance loci and the value of simultaneous mapping in sugarcane and sorghum.Key words: resistance gene analogue, RGA, sorghum, sugarcane, rust.

We report construction of a genetic linkage map of the guppy genome using 790 single nucleotide polymorphism markers, integrated from six mapping crosses. The markers define 23 linkage groups (LGs), corresponding to the known haploid number of guppy chromosomes. The map, which spans a genetic length of 899 cM, includes 276 markers linked to expressed genes (expressed sequence tag), which have been used to derive broad syntenic relationships of guppy LGs with medaka chromosomes. This combined linkage map should facilitate the advancement of genetic studies for a wide variety of complex adaptive phenotypes relevant to natural and sexual selection in this species. We have used the linkage data to predict quantitative trait loci for a set of variable male traits including size and colour pattern. Contributing loci map to the sex LG for many of these traits.
