Mapping of leptin and its syntenic genes to chicken chromosome 1p
Abstract Background Misidentification of the chicken leptin gene has hampered research of leptin signaling in this species for almost two decades. Recently, the genuine leptin gene with a GC-rich (~70%) repetitive-sequence content was identified in the chicken genome but without indicating its genom...
