Abstract
Comparative genome mapping can rapidly facilitate the transfer of DNA sequence information from a well-characterized species to one that is less described. Chromosome arm numbers are conserved between members of the teleost family Salmonidae, order Salmoniformes, permitting rapid alignment of large syntenic blocks of DNA between members of the group. However, extensive Robertsonian rearrangements after an ancestral whole-genome duplication event has resulted in different chromosome numbers across Salmonid taxa. In anticipation of the rapid application of genomic data across members of the Pacific salmon genus Oncorhynchus, we mapped the genome of Chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha) by using 361 microsatellite loci and compared linkage groups to those already derived for a well-characterized species rainbow trout (O. mykiss). The Chinook salmon female map length was 1526 cM, the male map 733 cM, and the consensus map between the two sexes was 2206 cM. The average female to male recombination ratio was 5.43 (range 1-42.8 across all pairwise marker comparisons). We detected 34 linkage groups that corresponded with all chromosome arms mapped with homologous loci in rainbow trout and inferred that 16 represented metacentric chromosomes and 18 represented acrocentric chromosomes. Up to 13 chromosomes were conserved between the two species, suggesting that their structure precedes the divergence between Chinook salmon and rainbow trout. However, marker order differed in one of these linkage groups. The remaining linkage group structures reflected independent Robertsonian chromosomal arrangements, possibly after divergence. The putative linkage group homologies presented here are expected to facilitate future DNA sequencing efforts in Chinook salmon.Entities:

Figure 1Graphic representation of three linkage groups, Ck04, Ck08, and Ck18 mapped in Chinook salmon. The linkage groups are a consensus of marker order and distances within the female and male maps. Recombination distances are in centiMorgan (Kosambi). Loci are annotated with the chromosome (Omy) or linkage group (RT) assignment in rainbow trout. Rainbow trout chromosome arms (p or q) or centromere positions (c) are identified where possible. Markers that mapped to the homeolog in rainbow trout are designated (h). Duplicated loci (bold) are identified as /i or /ii and annotated with the homeologous Chinook linkage groups.
Figure 2Ideogram of the relationship between Chinook salmon linkage groups (Ck) and Rainbow trout chromosome arms (Omy), based on homologous loci mapped in the two species. Rainbow trout chromosome arms are given as p and q for metacentric chromosomes or a for acrocentric chromosomes. Gray linkage groups are conserved between the two species; marker order is not conserved in Ck06/Omy20. *Designates a postulated metacentric arm in Chinook salmon.
Figure 3Ideogram of the relationship between Rainbow trout chromosome arms (Omy) and Chinook salmon linkage groups (Ck), based on homologous loci mapped in the two species. Rainbow trout chromosome arms are given as p and q for metacentric chromsomes or a for acrocentric chromosomes. Putative linkage group structure in Chinook salmon is given as m for metacentric and a for acrocentric chromosomes. Gray linkage groups are conserved between the two species; marker order is not conserved in Omy20/Ck06.

Linkage groups are given for Chinook salmon, chromosome arms (denoted p, q, or a, acrocentric) for Rainbow trout.
These pairings have greater support in rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon.
