A polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer set for a chicken microsatellite locus on the Z chromosome, LEI0171 (GenBank Accession No. X85538), amplified a 363 bp fragment of genomic DNA in chickens (Gallus domesticus) but not in quail (Coturnix japonica). A concentration of at least 10 pg/mul of chicken DNA in the reaction mixture resulted in detectable amplification of the PCR product. Circulating primordial germ cells (PGCs) of chick embryos were transfused into quail embryos, and the chicken-genome-specific PCR product was observed in the chick-PGC-transfused chimeric quail when DNA samples were extracted from whole day-6 embryos, day-10 and -15 embryonic gonads, gonads of 5-day chicks, and the semen of adults.
