Genome

Meleagris gallopavo (turkey) The turkey, an agriculturally important avian species, has a karyotype that is similar to the chicken's Lineage: Eukaryota[15557]; Metazoa[7782]; Chordata[3579]; Craniata[3544]; Vertebrata[3544]; Euteleostomi[3500]; Archelosauria[1076]; Archosauria[1039]; Dinosauria[1034]; Saurischia[1034]; Theropoda[1034]; Coelurosauria[1034]; Aves[1034]; Neognathae[1009]; Galloanserae[81]; Galliformes[35]; Phasianidae[27]; Meleagridinae[1]; Meleagris[1]; Meleagris gallopavo[1]

The turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is an agriculturally important avian specie with a genome very similar to that of the chicken. Expanding the marker and map information for turkey will also improve genetic information available for other agriculturally important avian species.
