Abstract
The project aims to develop amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) as a way of identifying markers linked to a circadian clock gene (tau) in an unexplored genome (hamster). Use of the AFLP method will permit linkage determination of the tau gene, identification of appropriate genomic fragments and should ultimately lead to the cloning of this important gene. This application of the AFLP method is novel (currently used only in plants) and permits the production of a dense population of markers for mapping purposes in a vertebrate.
