Southern blot analyses. Genomic DNA from 16 sibling catfish was digested, separated, transferred to nylon membranes, and hybridized with a MHCIIβ, b IpLITR1 D1, c IpLITR1 D4, and d IpLITR3 D6-specific probes. Letters a–i indicate different segregation patterns (b′, e′, and h′ represent variant segregation patterns that may be the result of recombination). Representative RFLP bands illustrating different linkage groups are indicated by ●, ▲, and ■. Kilobase size markers are indicated to the left of each blot
