Abstract: The AgResearch International Mapping Flock is a set of nine sheep pedigrees that covers 2070 of the sheep genome. The extensive ovine genetic linkage map covered 246 polymorphic markers in nine three-generation full-sib pedigrees. Unlinked markers showed heterozygous males with autosomal or pseudoautosomal origins. The maximum number of informative meioses for the map was 222, with 140 as an average number per marker.
